Canoeing the Western End of Lake Winona, Alum Fork of the Saline River
7/23/16
Lake Winona is located in the southwestern Ouachita National Forest Forest. Its main feeder stream is the Alum Fork of the Saline River. It is a beautiful lake surrounded by modest sized mountains. Due to its recreational limitations it is not utilized by many. At 5:30 Saturday morning I dragged my canoe into its calm waters and paddled up to the far western end and back. A few small fish were hooked and released. Some were eaten raw. The wind was minimal and the heat was not terrible. A lone coyote was observed licking itself on a sand bar. The total trip was 3 miles.
