Paddling on the Tabor Lake

Tabor Lake - Depending on the wind conditions I enjoy cruising up and down either shoreline. If the winds are coming from the South the west side of the lake is best. Here you can tck it to small bays and inlets to avoid the bulk of the wind. In these conditions once you are 2/3s of the way up the lake you can get into the middle of the lake and 'surf' your way back to the boat launch with the wind at your tail.. (This is not recommended without the proper safety equipment and ability - be prepared to take on water, capsize, flip, or swim). The northern and eastern shores of the lake provide some of the best bird watching around. Found at the northern point of the lake, a large raptors nest has existed for years. Canadian geese can be found with their goslings at the northern point of the lake as well. The eastern shoreline is dotted with lily pads and can be enjoyed from a paddleboard from late to early summer. And if ever there was a place to witness fish jumping at sunset, Tabor Lake is the place to be.
