We have over 20 km. of trails -- some are only open in the winter, because they cross our black spruce bog -- lovely when it's frozen, but a trifle wet this time of year. A heaven for our froggy friends!
About 15 km. are open year round, leading to the Mountain Lookout, up through the Sugarbush, down to the River and the Beaver Ponds, through the open Pioneer Fields behind the resort -- which this time of year are blossoming with wild strawberries, so unbelievably sweet it is worth hunting down the tiny little critters...
Speaking of 'critters' -- our free ranging hens are restful creatures to watch, and hilarious in the bargain. The puppy is still trying to learn that we do not require her to retrieve chickens, but on the whole they are co-habiting well.
And the gardens -- what a riotous joy of colour they are providing. I wish the iris would remain in bloom all summer long (along with the lilacs, which are already done for the season)We have guests here this week who have been enjoying just walking by the gardens admiring the flowers... and why not -- this peony, just about to open after a rainshower, is something to soothe any soul.
Be it hiking, wildlife/bird watching, spending time out on the water or just enjoying the peace and quiet, there are places and spaces for all of it here.
