Paddling and Hiking at Massawepie

Yesterday I went paddling with the group to Massawepie Lake.  We did about 6.5 miles around the lake, stopping at the tip of one of the eskers for lunch.  A friend told me how to find the trail around the lake, so today we hiked part of the trail.  It was fantastic, but we didn't get all the way to the tip of the esker we were at yesterday.  We hiked for 1-3/4 hours and since we left late and didn't bring lunch, we were forced to turn around.  It was another gorgeous, still day.

And there were toads everywhere.


We will be sure to go back sometime and plan for a longer hike.  It was wet underfoot some places, so I might be tempted to wear water shoes the next time, or perhaps take them.
