when i drive through the rockies i always love to look at the beautiful lakes and how they glow so brightly blue, its really amazing to see, almost like there lights under the water

any of you guys out here ride these lakes? im new to the area but man i see those lakes and would love to just drop the boat in and go for a rip


what lakes are acessable if any?

Hello J M B... First of all, Many of these lakes that you see, and all of us want to board on, are either national parks, meaning you cant even put a boat on them, or even just electric or man powered motors only. Therefore your chances of riding on them is slim. Even if you do find a lake... i doubt you wanna ride in pure mountain runoff in the mountains. If you have ever been to ghost, you know how cold it will be in the mountains. Definetly freezing

lol definetly not lake louise... you can barely put your feet in the water without getting charged... Ride ghost for sure... if you can handle trunking it in there then you can think about the mountains Smile
