Pete MacLoghlin, Dave Messervey & Bill Robertson met in Beavermeade on a pleasant fall day for a walk. We decided to drive north to the Christine Bentham property on Juniper Pt Rd just south of Burleigh Falls. From the parking lot we walked south on the Juniper Point Trail to the yellow marked looped Limestone Ridge Trail taking the eastern 1/2 south to where the 2 loops meet & continue south to the red marked Kawartha Park Trail which starts as a loop. We took the left (east) branch south to the blue marked Ruth's Wetland Explorer Trail for a downhill walk to the Clear Lk shoreline where after a break we walked beside the lake to a 2nd shoreline area. From there we did a loop walk as indicated on the trail map for a lovely but rough walk with views of the lake between wetlands that takes you back to the shoreline for a return walk uphill to Kawartha Pk Tr, north to Limestone Ridge Tr for an easier walk on the western loop above the cliffs to the Juniper Pt trail & a return to the parking lot for a hike of 4 km. Although the trails are marked it is easy to take a wrong turn & the trails are quite rough so a walking stick is helpful. Take your time to enjoy the woodlands scenery & vegetation
