Waldo Lake

Perfect weather, awesome ride. The lake is suppodely one of the purest in the world. It was scooped out by ancient glaciers, covers 10 square miles and reaches a maximum depth of 420 feet. On a clear day, you can see to depths of 100 feet. It was pretty clear the day we rode it. The ride just around the lake is 20 miles but we added on about 7 by parking further out and jumping on some singletrack.

That lake is so pretty, are boats allowed on it?

Yes, as of now I believe they are, but I remember reading something about them trying to prohibit them.

canoes and sailboats are allowed but motorboats aren't allowed anymore because of the noise and fear of gas and oil leaks. there are plenty of other lakes for motorboats. Waldo Lake has been affected by leaks from septic systems and motorboats in the past and both of those problems have been addressed to keep the lake clean.
