On Saturday, I had the opportunity to help out with season-opening of the centre, as well as exploring this area for the first time.
Back of the main cabin. The cabin has a very homely feel to it, with a functional kitchen, bathroom, fireplace, bedroom, and more.

The woods.
Accompanying us were two dogs - Bronte and Noble, both provided endless entertainment for us humans.

The two dogs sharing a stick together
Both dogs enjoying the view, I think.
Bronte found a dead Lake Trout, which we had a hard time trying to coax her to drop it.
One of the rare moments when both dogs are actually still, even if it's just for a second.
Even though it's a bit early in the season, there were several species of plants flowering already.
Unknown flowers.
Trailing Arbutus (Epigaea repens)
Fly honeysuckle (Lonicera canadensis)
Skunk currant (Ribes glandulosum)
Forget-me-nots
Leaves of Canada Mayflowers (Maianthemum canadense)
Blueberry flowers (Vaccinium sp.)
Lake Kushog
But once we started our hike, the clouds started to break up.

When we first arrived, the weather was overcast and cool.

We came across a pretty little waterfall

The centre also has canoes, paddles, and life-jackets to borrow and use.
The weather is turning out to be beautiful
Because it's still early in the season, there was very little traffic on the water. But once May long-weekend and summer begins, this place is going to be packed and noisy.
What a beautiful area

What a beautiful spot, and I can't wait to come back again!
