First of all, lots of pictures, so it might take a long time to load⦠I went camera happy!
Iâm back from camping! It was a short trip, we left Monday morning and returned Thursday afternoon. We had never been to Arrowhead Provincial Park before, so we decided to go for just a few days to see if we liked it or not⦠and the verdict is, weâll be going back again for sure! We lucked out as well, it was warm and sunny, perfect summer weather. My only complaint is that the mosquitos loved me... my family only got 1-3 bites each, I got 8 on my ankles within the first 10 minutes of getting there. Even with bug spray, I managed to finish the trip with nearly 40 bites. Ugh, I'm itching up a storm There must be some reason why they like me over anyone else!
Our campsite was a good size, and really private. We had a squirrel and chipmunk that would visit us a few times everyday, and I gave them some cheerios. My dog didn't care about them, he let the chipmunk walk right past him without batting an eye. I guess they are just another rat to him. Lol.
Okay, on to the pictures!
Our Campsite
My dog Cody in the site
The Beach â thereâs actually 5 small beaches, but I found them enjoyable. The water was cool, but not cold. We had a lot of fun swimming from one beach to another.
Every year I take feet pictures in the sand.. Iâm not sure why, Lol.
We only had time to go on one hike, which led us to a small falls, which was really pretty and quite relaxing to hear the rush of the water.
A couple pictures of the river
Me walking down the stairs to the bridge over the falls
We rented a Canoe on Wednesday for a few hours, the lake was so calm and the wind was a light breeze. It made the canoe trip for amateurs very enjoyable. The scenery was very pretty, rolling hills surrounded the lake with forest in every direction.
Canoes. We had #5 and #10.
Lake from the canoe
My mother and father in their canoe
My attempt at my and my brother in our canoe.. hard when Iâm holding the camera! Lol
My dog hadnât been camping with us since about 2 years ago, so we were pleasantly surprised at how well behaved he was. He was so quiet, the other dogs in the parks made him seem like an angel. :snicker: We took him to the little dog beach to swim, and he decided the only stick man-enough for him was a log.
Some scenery
A few animal/plant pictures.
Pretty flower my brother took a photo of
My brother caught this toad on our campsite.
A cute little baby toad
A deer on the side of the road, managed to snap a picture before the cyclists scared her away.
My brother took this series of photographs which I tried to paste together for him on the computer
