I just listened to a podcast where their latest episode had guys on there that were emotionally affected by Sasquatch sightings they had at that lake. One was back in 96 but the other was 2015! Very credible individuals. Should go listen. Its a very popular podcast named sasquatch chronicles. They are past 1k in episodes if that tells you anything about how in depth he goes on the subject. Its very real and you have to remember that social media is fairly new so lots of these sightings are making their way into oral history. Ive heard officers of every kind on there tell their interesting stories. Military, wildlife fishing and game officers etc come on the show and go more in depth to where you begin to understand more and put 2 and 2 together. I found this page because I wanted to see this lake and what kind of area surrounded it. Definitely lots of woods so I can only imagine what people have saw there over the years.

You found another gem. How nice you could spend a day to take it all in. The lake color is so blue. I always love how a drone can catch whats around in the area from a higher view. The views are AMAZING. Thanks for sharing.

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

Thanks! That really striking blue color comes from all of the glacial silt that is washed down out of the mountains here. It's really something! We couldn't actually fly a drone for this one since all of this is within National Park/Wilderness boundaries. The view from above is actually just an overlook right off the side of the road!

You had a beautiful paddle and hike. Love the looks off the dams. The water is so blue.

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

Thank you! We highly recommend North Cascades!

[@micheleh5963]

That water is absolutely beautiful!

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

We really couldn't get enough of it!

[@LiveYourSomedayNow]

Looks so fun! We love kayaking in any lake we can find. 😁 Looks like a beautiful place to picnic!

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

We'd really love to go back with a 2nd paddle board or a kayak. You could spend the whole day exploring out on that blue water! Definitely check it out if you find yourself in NW Washington!

[@TilFurtherNotice]

Wow!! Wish we had of done this when there. Putting it on our list for next time! That water is calling our name! Beautiful views from the top too! Enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing-Tammy and Scott

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

We feel you! As we travel our list of "things to do" just gets longer and longer... North Cascades is definitely worth a trip back for!

[@TilFurtherNotice]

@@NeverStopAdventuring absolutely!

[@KristenandSam]

Holy cow, Diablo lake is stunning!

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

The color is really something else! This park actually has a lot of lakes that look like that, but this is one of the largest.

[@trexanh09]

Thanks for nice video and name of boat launching place. The video is so nice, some other give me headache because they turn camera so fast. Your video is really easy to follow, great work. 💯

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

Thank you so much! Glad to hear it helps. Sometimes shaky footage is hard to avoid, but we do our best 😉

[@RVAmerica]

That is just a beautiful area! We have wanted to try paddle boarding, but have not had the opportunity yet. Hopefully at some point, cuz it looks like so much fun. Great video guys! Lynn and Danny

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

Thanks! We've really enjoyed our paddle board this year. We're actually hoping to pick up a 2nd one at some point!

[@TheFlyingHens]

Looks beautiful!

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

It's a pretty amazing place!

[@rajas1432]

Very nice

[@DiosEstrella]

How did you get the paddle board to the beach? Was it a steep walk? I have two hard kayaks we'd have to be carrying.

[@dh8953]

Wow! How do you get to this beach area of diablo lake? Beautiful!!!

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

You can park at the Thunder Knob Trailhead on the side of the scenic highway. This is located just outside the Colonial Creek Campground. From here you can walk down to the water. It is very beautiful there! Have fun if you go!!

[@dh8953]

@@NeverStopAdventuring awesome! Going to head over this weekend!!! Thank you!!

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

@@dh8953 great! I hope you had fun!!

[@GoldenRoseRecords]

Do you have to hike to get to Diablo lake or do you just drive up to a parking lot?

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

You can park near the Thunder Knob Trailhead and then walk straight down to the beach. There are also other areas that offer boat rentals.

[@henrybrown8624]

WOW!

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

That was our reaction too!

[@SorgiStories]

What is the cost of real estate on that lake? (Kidding.) Would move there in a heartbeat. Soooo beautiful, picturesque.

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

You can move there if you get a job with Seattle City Light!

[@ToriBurton228]

😍😍😍😍stunning

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

I know, right?! 😉

[@jasonfleming2391]

Can you find parking easily over there without dragging your paddleboard like a mile or something? Thanks

[@caitlinbauer7774]

@@NeverStopAdventuring This looks great! We'll be in the cascades this weekend and will have our dog with us. It looks just a little too hot this weekend for him to hike, so wondering if this is an easily accessible spot for us to bring some chairs, a cooler, and swim around with out dog? Do we need a permit/pass for parking? Great video!

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

@@caitlinbauer7774 most places in North Cascades don't require a pass. In our Maple Pass trail video we needed one for parking at that trailhead, but not here at Thunder Knob. Sounds like this spot would be perfect for your plans. We paddleboarded there, brought food, and stayed most of the day. Thanks!
