THE HIKE:
From parking walk back to Goodwin Lake Road, turn right, walk a short distance on Goodwin Lake Road, then turn left on Between The Lakes Trail. |
We'll be heading left on the Otter's Path Trail but first we continued straight on Between the Lakes Trail since it was a short trail. |
It ends at an overlook on the lake. |
Prince Edward Lake |
Heading back then right on the Otter's Path Trail. |
Another hiker passed us by which was nice since I am always the one having to knock down spider webs this early in the morning. |
It is a very pretty and peaceful trail and perfect for Shawnee in her wheelchair. |
The Otter's Path Trail crosses over one road, Cedar Crest Road, and continues through the field back into the woods. |
We left the Otter's Path Trail turning right on Beaver Point Trail. |
At the overlook, out of the wheelchair for a little break. |
Wow, that's a lot of turtles. I count 38. |
Back on the Otter's Path Trail. |
Last night's rain. Fortunately it stormed in the middle of the night but was all clear in the morning. |
A left on Between the Lakes Trail... |
... and right on Goodwin Lake Road to the first left up ahead ... |
... back to our car. |
