Peck Lake is listed as a moderate 1.9Km hike along the lake shorline. It was made slightly more tricky following all the rain we had this summer.
There were plenty of scenic views around the lake and the natives were friendly enough.
"Sarah, how do I look"? "You look great Olivia, now come on we have to find our way out of here".
Spruce Bog Boardwalk was the easiest walk during our stay in Algonquin Park. It is located 42.5Km from the West Gate.
The pine lined boardwalk makes for easy hiking.
Not that easy obviously. The girls taking a 5 minute break.
Sarah and Olivia setting off from Algonquin Outfitters on Ox Tongue Lake on their canoeing adventure. Lynda and Muffin are not convinced that this is a good idea and stand well back. Come on Lynda it's as safe as houses in these canoes.
That is Lynda's seat. No she didn't fall out. She just didn't get in! Oh well, I think it made for a good photo, a typical Canadian scene really.
The girls are making good progress although not quite together with the paddling. Practice makes perfect girls, off you go.
A beaver dam on the 2.0Km walk around, you guessed it Beaver Pond. Quite amazing how a few trees, branches and some mud can hold back the water of an entire lake. Clever these beavers!
A panaramic view of Beaver Pond.
1000 sq miles of rivers lakes and forest.
The girls on the viewing platform at the Algonquin Visitor Centre. The centre is only 13Km from the East Gate.
