You won’t want to miss this special trip! Disappearing Lake is an occasional feature, and that is what makes the place so special. The lake forms in the spring, with a depth of 6 to 8 feet in places. As the weather warms it quickly disappears, leaving an area known as South Prairie in its place. Forest Service botanists speculate that the lake is formed when a lava tube freezes up, damming the creek that feeds the prairie. When the ice melts, the lake water quickly recedes. Learn more here.

Details for all trips, scheduled or otherwise, are shared via the Club’s private Google Group. For this trip, the trip coordinator will send an email via the Club’s Google Group with meet up time and place, details about the specific river, etc. shortly before the scheduled date. To participate in this trip, watch for that email and respond to the trip coordinator to indicate your interest.

Unless otherwise noted, the trips are open to boaters of all kinds: canoes, hard shell kayaks and IKs. Many trips will include social time either on the river (e.g. a lunch stop) or off the river (bring a camp chair and beverage for socializing at the take out).
