Almost entirely surrounded with mountains and different varieties of trees the lake, upon reaching it after following the trail from Lynn Canyon, is like seeing a mirage in the desert. The forest and sky reflect their beauty in the mirror-like surface of Rice Lake. One does not expect to see so much beauty at the end of the curving uphill hike. The silence of our surroundings was a roar in our ears intersperesed with the occasional splash of fish jumping out of the water, rarely seen except for the rippling effect on the surface of the otherwise smooth lake.
There looked to be secret little coves hidden at various places on the distant shoreline. A kayak to explore would have been wonderful, we thought except it would have spoiled the serene beauty of these peaceful waters. It was a place to relax and to dream and to forget what lies beyond this quiet corner of the world.
