Ellenwood Lake Provincial Park

Yesterday we came here to Ellenwood Lake Provincial Park. This park is more our style. It has only 20 serviced sites (electric and water, in this case). So it’s quiet. And our site is quite private.

Just to orient you, we’re the blue dot towards the lower left near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. We came from Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site, which is that green dot with a white tree right in the middle of this part of Nova Scotia.

Matey and I walked around the campground this morning, then we all went and played a short game of disc golf.

So this afternoon was the perfect time to take a walk using the stroller.

We walked past the campers’ beach at Ellenwood Lake, then down an old park road now closed to vehicle traffic.

We passed the very pretty day use area…

and came to the hiking trail. I’d walked three quarters of a mile at that point. I parked the stroller and Matey got out.

He and I then walked the trail.

It was a pretty nice trail with some structure in the really wet spots.

The loop was 1.2 miles long and Matey did fine. Then I loaded him in the stroller for the walk back. Perfect.

And here’s my fungus of the day, a small lemon yellow mushroom. (Actually this is not the fungus, which is underground, but just its fruiting body.)

    Very pretty! I makes me think a little of a rain forest with all the ferns and moss. When I saw the last picture – and before I read your description of it – I was trying to figure out what that yellow circle could be! By-the-way, why did the mushroom get invited to so many parties? Because he was such a fungi. Sorry – I couldn’t help myself!
