Although some commitments have prevented us from using the RV for a little while, today we decided to make a day trip to MacGregor Point Provincial Park. A few clouds followed us for part of the trip, but the weather at MacGregor Point was just beautiful. Most of our previous visits to the Park have been between November 1 and May 31 so we were amazed by the lush foliage everywhere in the Park.
Upon arrival we went straight to the viewing tower at the Ducks Unlimited wetland area, followed by a picnic lunch near the Visitor Centre. We then headed out to the beach area and continued along the boardwalk through Ash Swamp. A good number of people were taking advantgage of the gorgeous weather to catch some sun at the beach and a few people were actually waste deep in the water.
When we returned to the Visitor Centre parking lot, a full grown porcupine in a Poplar tree was getting a lot of attention. We also saw an Indigo Bunting, Garter Snake and Green Heron while hiking through the Park.
Before leaving, we toured some of the campground facilities and continued to be amazed at how different things looked with leaves on the trees. All in all, a great day.
