Description

Join Peter Rasberry for a leisurely Spring hike on the Cottrill Lake Side Trail. This lovely sidetrail winds 1.4km through both mixed and hardwood forest, and along the shore of this small inland lake.  This should be peak time for both spring wildflowers, and bird migration, so it will be a leisurely walk focusing on the identification and appreciation of both!  If time permits, we will have the option of adding on the Anne and Clayton Roberts Side Trail.

We will meet at the parking lot in Dyers Bay 45.162455727854116, -81.34088304473234 at 9:00 am, and car pool out the Britain Lake Road to the start of our hike at the Lillie Parking area km 113.4. Parking fees may be in effect for non-resident vehicles at Dyers Bay.  Dress appropriately, bring snacks, water, cameras, binoculars and field guides.  Insect repellant might also be useful.

This hike (including car pooling) is approximately 3 hours in duration.
