Sand Lake Rec
Fall Colors Paddle
Late September, when the tamaracks go gold and the crowds go home.
The best-kept secret of the season. The maples turn first along the south shore, the tamarack bog goes gold two weeks later, and the lake is empty, cold-aired, and utterly still. We paddle the full shoreline circuit with a thermos stop on the granite point, and every year somebody says it out loud: this is the best day of the whole summer, and it isn't even summer.
