That's My World: Powell Lake, BC

Last week I shared about my world at a float cabin up the lake. The lake is Powell Lake in Coastal British Columbia.

Powell Lake is 51 kilometres (32 miles) long with 480 kilometres (300 miles) of shoreline. Our cabin is about 17 kilometres (10 miles) up the lake from the marina at the Shinglemill in a bay called Hole in the Wall. The only way to get there is by boat. That gives us lots of privacy, but it can also be a challenge at times. Powell Lake can get up to 4' waves on it's longer reaches.

Here are some interesting facts. Powell Lake is ...

• a glacial cut fjord
  
• over 1000' deep in places
• ancient sea water is trapped at the bottom
• massive Goat Island rises from the middle
• good for fishing and water sports
  
• part of Powell River Forest Canoe Route
• our home.
