A visit to the Giant that Sleeps






What a beautiful day! We hiked the Middlebrun Bay Trail at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. The trail is a little more than 4 kms, but we were treated with this fantastic view from the rocky beach when we arrived.

We stopped in at Silver Islet after our hike and brought home a fantastic lemon meringue pie after chatting with the local store owners. YUM!

Word of the day:


fen - low swampy land


The information we found about our hike told us that we would find a secluded beach as well as a fascinating wetland known as a fen. We weren't sure what a "fen" was, so had to look it up. The beach was definitely the most fascinating part and definitely made the hike worthwhile!

    It's so pretty there. We used to dock our boat at Silver islet if it was too rough to cross to Isle Royal. I think I've done everything you can do on Silver Islet. I think that you can't even stay on Isle Royal anymore...it's too bad...another really neat place to visit...you would love it! Lee-Ann :)
