I hadn’t been to Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park since early spring, so it was great to spend some time in the park last evening and wander around! It’s a really nice time of year to visit. Everything is green, wild flowers are blooming, and it’s very quiet and peaceful.
First Moore Lake sunset of the season! If you are visiting Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park this summer, don't miss one of it's amazing sunsets! My favourite spots to watch the sunset at the park are the Bagwa Day Use Area and the Babawasse boat launch! #findyourselfhere
