Murtle Lake is the largest non-motorized lake in North America.    To get there, we drive to Blue River, then drive on backroads to Murtle Lake.    From the parking lot, we have to portage our boat 2.5 km to the launch.    From there we paddle to one of the marine campsites on the lake.   There are some hikes from the lakeshore.     The best one is from the Strait Creek Campground.     It climbs into the alpine zone in the Wavy Range.    This shot is of an alpine tarn just below Wavy Crest Peak.   This was a 15 km out-and-back hike into a remote mountain range.   The tarn would make a great location for a basecamp for three days of hiking the Wavy Range.
