Hikes

Ten people came out on July 8 for the hike in Blackfoot Recreational Area.

We started from A98 in the Wanisan Lake area. After a short walk between picturesque beaver ponds, we arrived at the stile over the high ungulate fence. Of course, people “in the know” walk down further and use the elegant gate to get in.

Lunch was at the Meadow Shelter.

Twelve people came out on this sunny, breezy Sunday of the July long weekend.

Our route was from A39 north to Stan’s Bench. Then we crossed the road and continued north along Mud Lake. Lunch was at a picnic table (courtesy of the landowner) with a view of the lake in the broad valley.

We walked through a mix of hay fields, pastures, and woods. Here and there, we found the striking native wood lilies (Lilium philadelphicum) also the provincial emblem of Saskatchewan.

Along the way we encountered a luscious strawberry patch and a saskatoon patch at the start of ripening.

Also spotted today were a deer and a fox.
