A trip around the Ghost Reservoir west of Cochrane. We will meet around 1100AM at the East end boat launch for those that want to leave Edmonton that morning. We will unload and eat our lunch on shore then hit the water. We paddle up the north arm into the Ghost River as far as the current will let us then we will turn around and head south to meet the main arm of the lake and paddle west before returning to the boat launch.
