We drove east to the Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Road on the north side of the Salmon Arm of Shuswap Lake. We parked at Sunnybrae Park and hiked the Sunnybrae Bluffs Trail. Then we drove east to Herald Provincial Park to hike Margaret Falls and the Reinecker Creek Trails.
A windy morning paddle on Inks Lakes with loops around the lake amongst many ducks and other birds. Day 12 for 2026.
We hiked about 11 km (4 hours) in a large loop in Kalamalka Provincial Park on a sunny spring morning.
A hike in Kenna Cartwright Park on a series of trails to make a loop route. Some snow on the trees and cool, but great conditions for a nature hike. 
A very windy and cool day, but I hiked trails in Peterson Creek for a 4.3 km loop route.
I kayaked from the west end of the lake out past Gibraltar Rock and back on the same shoreline. A sunny, quiet, and calm day for a paddle.

A hike in the Ironmask Hills on a windy and cool spring day. An area not yet open so I went cross-country over the hills.
On a sunny and calm spring morning I paddled the north end of Trapp Lake. I had kayaked the south end of the lake the week before.
“And up on the hills against the sky,
A fir tree rocking its lullaby,
Swings, swings,
Its emerald wings,
Swelling the song that my paddle sings.”

On a sunny spring day I drove up the bumpy road to Pat Lake. I kayaked twice around the lake, once in each direction, then secured the boat and hiked around the lake for a triple loop day.
A nature hike in the hills above Neskonlith Lake. Early wildflowers to enjoy…
