Below: Located at the west
end of Maxwell Lake in the Hinton Hill District, this 1.5 km wheelchair
accessible wooden boardwalk traverses wetland and forest in a series
of loops. |
 |
 |
Below: Upon arrival here,
Karen Duquette took a picture of a bit of water in the creek. When they
left, there was litter in there, but she did not take a second photo
showing the litter.
 Wake
up people and stop littering! Litter hurts everyone, especially wildlife! |

Below: The main loop of
the boardwalk travels along an active beaver dam and is a great place
to see wild beavers in their natural habitat. Of course, Lee and Karen
Duquette were NOT there at the right time to see any beavers. Lee Duquette
does not like night driving very much, unless it is really important. |

Below: After leaving the
Beaver Boardwalk, Lee and Karen Duquette stopped to eat. They seldom
eat fast food, but Lee Duquette really wanted an A&W Root Beer Float. |

Below; While at the Visitor
Center earlier, the worker there recommend that Lee and Karen Duquette
take a short drive to an area she said was the prettiest scenery in
Hinton. Along the way, Karen noticed that the light poles all had different
animal designs on them. But she did not photograph all of them. |

Below: Here is the view that the lady at the Visitor Center thought was the prettiest scenery in Hinton to photograph. |
