4 Wheeling at Aspen Lake

John and I went 4 wheeling at Aspen Lake Sunday.
Aspen Lake is only some 10 miles from our homes, just off Hwy 140 North of Klamath Falls.
Aspen Lake is a beautiful environment to behold. It is only 2 to 3 foot deep on average, about 7 to 8 miles long and 1 to 2 miles wide. About 90% of its surface is covered in long grass that stands up a foot or so above the surface. There is a lot of wildlife around the lake including many riparian bird species. At one point we spotted a bull Elk with big velvet horn knobs on his head.

We will be returning this season to do the other side of the lake and the slopes of the 8,000 foot high slopes of Aspen Butte that guards the northern shores of the lake.
