I had a video project to do for the City of Moses Lake, and Wednesday seemed to be the perfect day for it. The forecast was for sun and calm weather, and my friend James Lebow was available to help me out. He met at Blue Heron Park, and we took his boat from there to Cascade Park to show people the facilities there and what a great place it was to start a tour on the “Water Trail” on Moses Lake. Cascade Park is just one of several good launching spots for those who enjoy paddling a canoe, kayak or paddleboard. It is fairly protected and there is an “on the water park”, John E. Calbom Island Park at the mouth of the bay. We also showed Peninsula Park on the west shore and Montlake Park on the east shore. Both are great places to explore Moses Lake by small watercraft. We observed a beaver swimming across the lake, a muskrat, a blue heron and other wildlife while we were on the water. We even stopped at the I-90 Bridge for a while and caught some whopper crappie. This fishery, along with the perch fishery is just getting started.
