  We spend two days paddling on Hidden Lake and one paddling on Skilak Lake. On Saturday we paddle the North shore, on Sunday the South Shore. Monday we will break camp and drive a few miles over to Skilak lake. Skilak is known for its winds, so this first trip will be more conservative, we will stay near the west shore. In August we will return to Skilak for two different kayak camping trips. We spend Saturday and Sunday night at Hidden lake camp ground. Plan on car camping in a national forest service camp ground.
