Camping at Silent Lake Provincial Park
Hello,
I've been getting back into looking up trails and such since spring will eventually show even more signs of arriving in our area and I want to be ready for outdoor adventures!
The birds are chirping in the morning, some greenery is started to pop out of the ground, there is light up till the children's bedtime... all exciting things.
In doing so, I figured I could write a short post regarding our extended family camping trip we took last August at Silent Lake Provincial Park. Same gang as the previous year at Bon Echo, minus my father who was ill and unable to join us. He's fine, by the way.
We did our usual Wednesday to Saturday schedule, which helps avoid crowds. We stuck to the month of August and it was thankfully warmer than the previous year.
I seem to have misplaced our map, but I do believe our sites and yurt were in the Pincer Bay campground. We had two tent sites next to each other, but with a good distance between the two (had to go on the road to really get to the other one) and a yurt across the way. There was plenty of woodland for the six children to explore and roam free, which I think they quite enjoyed.
I did end up seeing a couple of deers, but only briefly. Plenty of monarchs, which was very cool. We also encountered a snake gliding across the water. Which was cool, but my husband hates snakes, so he didn't like it so much. They have two beaches, one in the Pincer Bay area and the other in the day use area. We were able to visit both and enjoyed both for different reasons.
And, of course, we hiked. We ended up doing the Lakehead Loop Trail and it was gorgeous. So many beautiful and large trees and hidden water and such. Very, very nice. Highly recommend it.
Despite the rain, we had a wonderful time and we still went out and enjoyed a lot of the things the park had to offer.
We are very much looking forward to our trip this summer to Charleston Lake Provincial Park.
Have you ever visited Silent Lake Provincial Park? Did you enjoy it?
Thank you for coming to visit and let's see where we roam next!
