Crawford Lake Conservation

Last week we went Conservation Area Halton hopping... :)

One of my fave places was Crawford Lake. The beautiful meromictic lake is so serene, it lulls and calms you, just by being near it. There is a boardwalk that goes around the entire lake-just over a kilometer in length where you can be a part of the forest and peer into the lake to look for old snapping turtles. The boys were especially excited to find 5 of these turtles. They looked kinda hairy as they had moss streaming from their backs. We enjoyed a yummy picnic lunch by the lake. Ahhhhh

The 232 hectare park has so much to offer including a 15th century reconstructed Iroquoian Village, a great gift shop, beautiful gardens and trails.

We look forward to going back very soon, especially as the leaves change colour.

I have a feeling this place is going to be 'my spot' to get away and be quiet.
