Adventures in the outdoors
Here is another edition of a review for local conservation areas in the Quinte Region. My entire crew was with me again on this adventure to Vanderwater. The map in the link is currently the older map as this conservation area is up for some trail re-routing. Please note that this is a hike at your own risk until the trails are updated. We have been here many times, so we are very familiar with the trail system.
This year our Family Day was a little different. We have been down and sick with the flu, so our outdoor activity time was minimal. That doesn’t mean that we didn’t get outside at least once this weekend. We decided to stay close to home just in case we started to not feel 100% anymore.
