Route: This lake is very long and offers a lush, green landscape and wildlife. It is a quiet journey full of peace and harmony. For this lake also small fishing boats sail, but no problem. In addition, this lake is well known in the country, being a landmark by which much rowers make this route along the year

To access the lake, we go down the road A838 and exit of the dam, it is a way of fishing vessels used to reach the lake. The route of the trip is not difficult because you have to go with the flow of water to the end of the lake, during the trip can disembark to rest in many places, there is no prohibition that prevents us camping or disembark. During the trip we will find several waterfalls grade 4, are fast but not very dangerous. Although we must be careful. Here I attached a video on the lake waterfalls for you can see and recognize when hagais path:



Finally, I would recommend you do this route in the fall because it is the season when salmon swim upstream, jumping the falls and the views are beautiful.
