Description
Join us for a fun summer day at beautiful Silent Lake Provincial Park in the heart of the Kawarthas. Hike the Silent Lake loop (15 km, 4.5 km/hr pace, no dropouts) with Martina and Marie-Josée , then cool off with a dip in Silent Lake. Or hike around Silent Lake at a slightly slower pace with Brenda and Roland; this group will not have time for swimming. Enjoy gorgeous views and some challenging rocks. Or join Robin and Tom for a shorter hike (Lakeshore Trail plus Bonnie's Pond Loop) at a slower pace and then relax on the beach. Or come and enjoy a day on the water (self-guided) on a motorboat free lake. Canoes and kayaks can be rented at Silent Lake, or bring along your inflatable SUP.
Bring lunch, water, snacks, and your swimming gear.
No refreshment stop but there are washrooms and drinking water taps by the day use beach, and you can purchase ice cream and cold drinks in the park store.
Bus departs 10 York Mills Rd at 7:30 AM. We hope to be back in the city by 8 PM. Registration cost includes bus fare and park admission.
