Our friends Mike and Alice took us on a local flat walk from Moffat Bay on Saturday. The weather was cool, but glorious, as we started our walk in a glade of thick trees rapidly losing their leaves.
A railroad had been built at the turn of the twentieth century from the mainland out to the Champlain islands that dot this impressive lake. It had fallen into disuse after a road bridge had been built further up. A 'Rail Trail' had been recently established on it however, usuing the causeway built of large marble and granite boulders to walk, cycle or jog along. Out of season (and with the exposed position catching every breeze, it was certainly out of season) the gap in the causeway for the boats to use the full lake was not accomodated by a bike ferry, however we were able to walk 5 windy kilometres out into the middle of the lake before turning around.
A great day was had by all.
Looks pretty!
