WINDY LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK TRAIL
The Transition Hiking Trail 3 km, 1 hour, easy
As you walk along the trail it is hard to imagine that this was once the rim of a huge crater made by a large meteorite that impacted the earth nearly two billion years ago. Today, it is a vibrant forest that is home to many plants and animals. As you wander through the changing forest, keep your eyes open for the many birds that inhabit the area, including the Yellow Warbler, Ruffed Grouse and Pileated Woodpecker. At dusk listen for the soft haunting call of an owl. If you time your hike right you can enjoy a variety of beautiful wild flowers that grow on the forest floor including the Pink Lady’s-slipper, Twin Flower, Wild Rose and Star Flower.
