Miquelon South Hike

by

Fourteen hikers came out on this moody day to hike the trail up to and around Miquelon Lake #2.

This hike has three parts:

pasture with cows at the edge of the woodsa grassy meadow dotted with islands of trees…
Miquelon Lake with shore birds

…the lake shore…

…and an old road through the woods that is enchanting with its overgrowth.

Miquelon Lake Trail Clearing and Hike Preview

by

Seven people came out to clear the trail up to the south end of Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. The path was mowed, the boardwalk was cleared, and many old faded signs were replaced.

Once we reached the Blue Route, five of us went on to scout the trail into the park, skirting around Miquelon Lake #2. The shore around the lake is drier than it has been in previous years, so we were pleased to be able to walk on it without sinking. The walk along the western shore is simply stunning.

Here are some American Avocets and other birds.
