Relaxing

We went kayaking at Buntzen Lake a week ago. It’s a 3-mile long lake in Anmore, British Columbia. It was used to power Vancouver’s first hydroelectric power station in 1903. Today, this reservoir is not only a source of hydroelectric power, but a popular family outdoor destination because of its proximity to the city and it’s beauty:

It was my first time to go there. Usually we kayak at Deep Cove, but it was love at first sight with this like. It wasn’t as commercialized as Deep Cove, with all the surrounding restaurants, cafes and shops, but it is a lovely place to commune with nature and feel like it’s far out from the city, but it really is not. The drive took less than 3o minutes!
