Heath Carmody | Lake Revelstoke - Summer Boat Trip @heathcarmody2867 | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
A break from my normal observations and videos. Some friends invited me to go boating up the lake above the dam yesterday in a really nice rented pontoon boat. It was a beautiful hot summer day and the water was nice and calm. I didn't record very much but managed to get a few shots of the scenery that I can't really see from the campgrounds and lake access spots. Still only a small portion of this very long mountain lake. It's so nice here, but please stay away!
Some points about the lake/day:
- Water level is at about maximum height which is reached during the summer, and controlled by the hydro dam.
- Water temperature recorded by the pontoon boat varied between about 19°C and 21°C, and warmed up on average over the course of the day by a couple degrees.
- Air temperature reached the upper 30's (°C) but no accurate measurements were taken.
- Depths in this lake were showing well over 1000 ft!? I can't find any information on the deepest point of the lake, but the average depth is about 46 meters or 150 feet.
- Black swans could be observed throughout the observation and especially towards the end of the day, but I kept in on the dl.
