Part 2: McGeachy Pond (a very delayed Part 2)

Sorry for such a delay. I am still very active on the trails which is part of the problem, it leaves less time to write! 

The second walk we did that weekend was the McGeachy Pond near Erieau. It isn't a huge trail but it is definitely one worth checking out if you happen to be in the area. On one side of the trail there is a marsh and the other is the lake.

When we went winter was very much still alive, so the boys got to see the lake still partially frozen and a lot of little icebergs. The sound of the ice moving and shifting was a rather haunting sound admist that of the song birds trying to tell us spring was indeed going to come. There is a lovely lookout point you can climb up and get a great view of the trail up ahead and the lake.

You actually are quite high up on the trail with the marshland below it it gives a neat perspective. There is also places nearby for picnics which I would love to do as the summer approaches us.

Wildlife wise there was a lot of water fowl which is always neat to see. Canadian geese, swans, and all kinds of ducks call this place home.

We took a long time getting to the end of the trail since there was so much snow at the time so we sunk deep quite often, it was a good workout!

The boys had fun pretending to ski down the little slopes, but eventually our oldest got pooped and kept laying down in the snow pretending to be asleep.

All in all I would say it isn't enough to spend a day or even an afternoon at, but you can always pair it up with the Erieau Marsh Trail or a short stop on the way to the beach. It was a really neat trail and it was nice to be so close to the lake at the same time as the marsh!
