Limberlost Forest and Wildlife Reserve:

We learned about this jewel of a property from a friend the day before leaving for Huntsville. Limberlost practices a form of land management referred to as Conscientious Forest Management which focuses on ensuring the sustainability of their management objectives and actions for generations to come. There are over 70 kilometres of hiking trails and 20 lakes on the10,000 acre property.  https://limberlostforest.com/

The above photos were taken along the trail circling Turtle and Clear Lakes.

After hiking the 8.5 km Turtle and Clear Lake Trails, we hiked to a lookout point along Solitaire Lake. We made it to the rock outcrop visible in the upper third of the picture, known as Echo Rock Lookout. Completing the Solitaire Lake trail is a 13 km commitment which will need to wait for a future visit!

I haven't been able to identify these tiny orange fungus balls. They were only 2mm in diameter.

A rock garden was being maintained by one of the property owners on the side of a hill.

The Rock Garden also housed some wild animal art!
