Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 10th August.
We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am

Last week we drove south on Bell Road and circled around the east side of Bobs Lake to park on the gas line just past the entrance to the campground. Hiking south on the pipeline took us across the Anderson Bay Rd and on through the forest until we again met up with the Anderson Bay Rd near the start of the popular Twin Peaks trail.  At this point we were just south of Angel Lake so to reach our lunch spot on the north side of the lake we had to walk west along the good road then north until we reached the short access road in to the lake side.  This part of Texada has many wetlands and small lakes and it seems to have an above average number of resident beaver.  We saw a very well used beaver trail that crossed the main road at a point close to both Angel Lake and a large pond and at a different spot on the same road we saw where a medium sized pine tree had been cut and dragged over the road and into the beaver pond next to it. On the far side of the lake the large beaver lodge had had a couple of freshly debarked logs added to it very recently.

At Angel Lake for lunch.
