Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 2nd July.
We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am

Last week we were lucky enough to have pleasant weather for our hike.  Instead of driving off to more distant trails we left the vehicles at the Ballpark and set off hiking from there along the lower part of School Rd.  Keeping left at the first Y junction and right at the next we started the steady uphill climb towards Cap Sheaf Lake.  Walking perhaps a little faster than usual we decided to walk through the fairly open forest on the east side of the wetland instead of lunching at the south end of the open water.  This took us to the steep grassy bluff at the north end that overlooks the other area of open water held in place by the well maintained beaver dam.
