A Walk in the Woods

On a muggy May weekday afternoon, we decided to go for a nice walk in nearby Wheatley Provincial Park. The park was surprisingly quiet - even during COVID lockdown, we thought more people might take advantage of the property to get in some distanced exercise. 

We walked just over 5 km, from the front gate and down along the Lake Erie shoreline, across the pond bridge and back around through vacant campground loops Two Creeks, Middle Creek, Highlands, and Boosey Creek. We only saw a handful of other walkers the entire time, and the cacophony of birds and verdant greenery was incredibly soothing.

Thankfully we brought along a bottle of water!
