Location: Lily Lake
Guides: Louise Barteau & Jennifer Gillies
Fee: No additional fee
Description: Lily Lake is a short gentle walk on a forest road through spruce-fir and second-growth forest habitat, next to shrub-swamp wetlands and leading to an open lakeside area. Bring your binoculars and your listening skills as we look and listen for woodpeckers, flycatchers, vireos, and warblers. This walk is good for beginners and for those who want to deepen their knowledge of local birds and their habitat at a leisurely pace on easy terrain. Bring your binoculars and insect repellent. Some of the path is in a grassy area, so be prepared for ticks. No restrooms are available.
