Roche Cove - Matheson Lake Tuesday November 12, 2013

Directions

Journey to park is about 30 mins. Car poolers should leave the centre at 9:15. Those meeting at the car park should be there at 9:45.

We'll use the same car park as for our previous trips to Roche Cove (picture below).

This time we'll take the Galloping Goose because the summer trail will probably be too wet.  We'll take the loop trail to the left (clockwise round the lake).

Here are Dwayne's pics of the previous hike.

The lake is, of course, brilliant, and we saw a turtle sunning itself.

The spring flowers were abundant and fascinating, and below is the bridge we crossed just as we were closing the loop round the lake.

Here's the track we did.  The weather was good, and this is a great hike!!
