Seven of us jumped in 2 cars and made the l-o-n-n-n-g trip up to Nanaimo for a stroll around Westwood Lake - a 6 Km walk. Map and photos below. -- DeNNis.
 |
| Follow the trace counter-clockwise from where the cars are parked. (near center right) |
 |
| Not too far from where we parked - the beach area. |
 |
| Reflections - typical for a nice sunny day. |
 |
| The first boardwalk - there are a total of 17 of these of various sizes around the lake. |
 |
| More reflections - there are a few reflection photos. |
 |
| In this photo it is just the reflection. |
 |
| Lots of tall trees. |
 |
| This was a man made lake, so lots of old tree stumps poking skyward. |
 |
| Another of the 17 walkways. |
 |
| We could see the odd coin in the water. |
 |
| Not sure what it is or what denomination. |
 |
| A very easy trail to walk. |
 |
| Some blown down trees that were removed from over the trail. |
 |
| Can you see the bird in this tree and root stump? |
 |
| The "Half Way Point". |
 |
| The first walkway as seen from the opposite side of the lake. |
 |
| Had to show more reflections. |
 |
| Nice burls on some tree trunks. |
 |
| A fisherman on the lake. |
 |
| Zoomed in a bit. |
 |
| Mill Bay trails aren't the only ones with mysterious painted rocks. But the Mill Bay rocks are nicer? |
 |
| Getting to the hilly parts of the trail. |
 |
| Bill overlooking his momentary domain. |
 |
| More tall trees. |
 |
| The official "Lake Procclamation." |
 |
| A delicious lunch and beverage in Ladysmith at the "FOX & HOUNDS" Pub. |
