Theme:  Paddling on Lake Glastowbury in Tennessee

During our recent trip to Fairfield Glade Resort we took our Sea Eagle 330 inflatable kayak so we could get out on some of their many lakes and do some kayaking. It didn’t turn out to be the best kayaking weather while we were there. It was very hot most of the days and we had rain several other days. In fact, we were just leaving the condo to go kayaking one morning and as we opened the door to head to the car, the heavens opened up and the area got a much needed rain shower. But by the time it was over, it was too humid to get out for a paddle.

We did manage to make it to Lake Glastowbury the morning before we had to leave. It was still pretty hot, but we figured it would be cooler on the water so we found our way to the boat launch and got the kayak launched in the very calm waters of the moderate size lake. The lake was like glass it was so calm and made for some beautiful reflection pictures. We paddled around the perimeter of the lake and it was just the right amount of time in the kayak for only our second kayak trip of the year.

We did have some company on this paddle, a family in a canoe and two kayaks were also out for a paddle and we passed them on our way back to the launch site. It was such a peaceful place and aside from the other paddlers, we had the lake all to ourselves. How cool is that!
