A Summer Place


Wed. 11 July:  A Summer Place


Big Rideau Lake and Westport from Little Bay


Our Wednesday walkers aren’t put off by the prospect of a few bugs or elevated temperatures. 

This has been a perfect summer so far.  And where better to go for a stroll than to Little Bay on the Rideau Trail within Foley Mountain Conservation Area. 

The walk-in beach and swimming area are open this year, and one of our fellow hikers made us feel a little envious by going in for a swim in Big Rideau Lake.  Her only companion was a tiny baby turtle.

Our gentle stroll led us back to Spy Rock with its panoramic view down to Westport – and soon we were there ourselves, sampling its ice creams!
