The destination of the day was Fishook Lake. Meeting up with a group from Kalso who hike every Sunday, we drove about 20 minutes north along Kootenay Lake to hike the Davis Creek Trail. Fishook Lake is a small lake reached after a 2-hour hike up a very steep trail and through thick forest.The trail isn't noted for great scenery, being as it is located in rather dense forest, it does afford some great vistas out to Kootenay Lake and the mountains to the East. Fishook Lake itself is small, presumably shaped like a fishook and otherwise unremarkable.
However, it was our first experience with these Sunday hikers, and it seems like there are some good possibilities for future excursions. Having a source of local knowledge seems pretty important here in the Koots. The hike up the steep trail was good as well - great exercise. All the better being able to be back home by late afternoon to a nice shower, some wine and a great supper.
