We went to the Visitor’s Center to get the big picture of the park. It is a very large park with lots of hiking trails and lakes. The campground is Marie Louise on the big lake of the same name.
We drove to the north end of the park to hike Joe’s Creek Trail, an easy hike following pretty Joe’s Creek. Then we drove across the peninsula to Pounsford Lake for lunch. It’s a lovely lake where a couple sat at a picnic table behind some bushes. We enjoyed sitting in the sun on a beautiful day. Two girls drove up, very talkative, unloading their inflatable kayaks for an hour paddle around the lake.
Driving north on a very bumpy, gravel road we came to an iconic overlook of Thunder Bay. A family was taking pictures on an overhanging platform, using a drone to do the job. I waved.
