Another picturesque place to relax, enjoy the wonders of nature and share memories with long-time friends. This park is just 7 minutes from the village of Nakusp and a short drive into the mountains to the Nakusp Hot Springs.
Our campsite had a lake view with our own private beach, just perfect for swimming or launching the kayaks.
Paddles dip effortlessly through a glassy mirror
reflecting the heavens.
Each stroke pushes away fluffy clouds,
a shimmering forest,
the grandeur of mountain peaks.
Gliding through reeds I scan the shoreline,
hoping to spot wildlife coming for evening refreshment.
Evening shadows momentarily camouflage
a bald eagle perching on beached driftwood.
In silence I drift to within ten feet of this majestic bird.
Our eyes fearlessly lock for several moments, he turns,
looks back, and then with slow, rushing whooshes
he is airborne to the safety of a tall fir.
An awesome moment
A once in a lifetime memory
Daylight is fast fading as I paddle back to camp
with a smile and a story.

Wow, that's my ideal holiday. Sounds wonderful.
