On October 29, thirteen brave souls came out on a cold blustery day for a hike on well maintained trails covered with fallen leaves.We hiked about 7 km on a number of Blackfoot Recreation Area trails. Then we stopped for a well deserved break for lunch at Meadows Shelter.
After warming up, we continued on the Waskahegan Trail along Wanisan Lake.
The maintenance crew did a great job of repairing and replacing boardwalks. However, the beavers have been very active this fall.
…This boardwalk was almost surrounded by a beaver den.
Great opportunity to see a den up close.
The day was forecasted to be chilly and grey, but it turned out to be just the opposite.
