Seven of us set out for a hike along the south shore of Hidden Lake. That trail had been tracked and red flagged in winter
It was full of different types of peat moss, lady slippers, ferns, mayflowers blue beads lilys and many other shrubs.
From across the lake we could see our lunch spot on a point of land covered with towering red and white pines. Some hikers were concerned that they would have to swim across. They were relieved to hear that there was another trail that would lead us there without us getting wet.
The trail along the west side of Hidden Lake had small mauve flowers called gay wings here and there. We also found an empty loon egg that had been broken open and brought into the bush Perhaps the work of a raccoon??? Jury is still out.
