Nov 20/25 - Christine Bentham Hike

5 of us decided to take advantage of another gorgeous fall day by exploring the trails in the Christine Bentham KLT property a pristine wooded area with 1200 feet of shoreline on Clear Lk. Starting from the parking lot on Juniper Pt Rd we walked on the 0.7 km Juniper Point Trail to the 2 km circular Michael's Limestone Ridge Trail where we walked on the eastern section down to the Kawartha Park Trail for a short hike down to the 1.5 km Ruth's  Wetland Explorer Trail which takes you beside Clear Lake before returning to the Kawartha Park Trail for a return to the Limestone Ridge Trail where walked on the western section to the Juniper Pt trail & a return to the cars after walking 5.0 km.  After the hike we had lunch at the Canoe & Paddle pub in Lakefield. The trails are well marked & maintained with boardwalks & bridges over the wet sections. We highly recommend a hike on this property which will be preserved in it's natural state by KLT
