We agree this is #1 paddle, ever. Cloudy and rain rolled through n both north and south of us. We rode out on beach at Leigh for 30 minutes. Cold and windy for that time but subsided but then sprinkled on our ride back on string lake. String lake shallow, clear, and scenic. 100 yard portage to Leigh which was clear and much deeper. Left turn towards mountains is super view and ends at base of them.
