Unfortunately there are no real seals in Keechelus Lake. Still, locals refer to the wooden stumbs as "The Seals". And if you do not look too close, you might imagine a ton of seals just relaxing at the banks of the huge lake.

I am always amazed how different this lake looks in the spring (full) versus the fall (almost empty). Those "Seals" are visible in the fall but then go for a long swim in the winter and spring...
