Day Tripping To Echo Reservoir

ByThe Reverend Katherine

Last Saturday was the perfect day to take a little drive. One of my favorite things to do. ( click the photos to get a better look)

We ended up going to Sparky’s ( my husband Bob) favorite ice fishing hang out, Echo Reservoir. It’s a popular summer spot too!

We’ve had a lot of snow this year, the snow melting quickly is causing the water there to be very high. It’s beautiful even though the beach is missing!

The water is spilling out faster than ever! Unfortunately we have many overflowing rivers in our area. Many people have had flooding issues with their homes.

It’s sometimes hard to believe we can look to the left and see snow covered mountains ( oops, sorry no photo) and look to the right and see these beautiful red rocks.

We watched some teens having fun as they were pulled behind a boat. You could hear their laughter echo across the water.

Look how high the water is. That’s about 10-15 feet up on the trunk of the tree.

We walked a little down a sandy slope and saw a lot of debris in the water. It’s sad, but I do think this made for a nice photo.

After we wandered a bit we came across this nest of eagles. We sat and watched for a while.

It was a lovely way to make happy memories.

I hope you enjoyed sharing our little drive with us.

  3. WOW! It looks lovely there!! Flooding is such a huge problem this year–everywhere. Ugh. These are the days when I’m glad we don’t have a basement. The weather is so volatile this year in particular, isn’t it?

    1. Hi sweetie it’s Echo Reservoir about 40 minutes from our home. Yes my sweet husband fishes all year round. The snow is still on the mountains here. It’s crazy. They’ve been talking about bikini skiing in the mountains not far from our home. Hugs

    1. There are many lovely things to see where I live. So many tourists come to our area and we are fortunate enough to live in the middle of it all. 🙂
