This Saturday’s trip was originally slated for Gross Reservoir above Boulder but that reservoir was very low (over 70 feet below the full level) so we switched to McIntosh Lake in Longmont instead. We’ll do Gross later in the summer once it’s filled. Fair weather brought out 11 paddlers and, after some confusion on the put-in point amongst the separately arriving cars, we circumnavigated the the 3+ mile perimeter of the 265 acre reservoir and took a snack break on the west side where the 9 adults chatted while the 2 kids observed a reluctant bullfrog.
All in all, a lovely, close-in, and free destination for a half day paddle.
