Six Mile Lake

2020 has definitely been a year to remember and now that campgrounds are open again, we felt safe to try out our first official camping experience of the year. The past few months of not camping has enabled me to learn and upgrade the van with a new LiFePO4 house battery, solar panels, sink pump just to name a few so we were ready to go.

Just under a 2 hour drive north, Six Mile Lake Provincial Park looked to be an ideal spot to spend the next 2 days. We took our chances on finding an available site as it was Wednesday and we ended up getting a beautiful spot that was both private and close to all the activities.

We quickly set up our new home and got to the business of relaxing, exploring and having fun.

There was lots to explore at this campground so we took one of the short hikes to enjoy the surrounding Canadian Shield, forest and wetlands.

The girls enjoyed getting close to all the animals, creatures and insects.

A new experience for this trip involved the girls playing safely for the first time in months with two new friends close to their age. Socially distant and wearing masks, it's remarkable how kids adapt.

Of course the highlight of this campground was it's proximity to the beautiful lake.

It was great to be out camping again and we felt safe as both campers and staff were respectfully socially distant along with clean facilities. We're hoping that we can fit in as many short trips as we can before the camping season is over.
