Killbear Point Provincial Park Things to Do

I've been to camping many times before, but this was the time when I saw the most wildlife, including a white tailed deer, 2 pilated woodpeckers, a patridge, and lots of chipmunks.

Tip: Get out early in the morning before the sunrise for the best viewing opportunities. Don't necessarily have to go on a hiking trail. Just look carefully, be quiet and you can spot them. I found most of the wildlife within steps from our campsite.

We watched the sunsets for two nights in a row on the rocks. No sunsets are the same. We were quite surprised of the beautiful sunset on one night, as we thought that there wasn't going to be a show because of the clouds. It was actually the clouds that brought out the colours!

The best place to watch the sunset is on the rocks outside of Beaver Dams Campground.

What a beautiful morning, the lake is calm like a mirror!

Tip: You can't see the sunrise from the horizon on this side of Geogian Bay, so it's ok to head out after the sun rises, but you'll see the sun comes up in between the trees and the calmness of the lake.

Lots of these plants at Lookout Point, hahaha, I just loved the flowers so that's why I took the photo. Now where can I buy that book that tells me exactly what kind of plant this is?! LOL :-)

Another big thank you to Glenn (Bwana_Brown) for giving me the answer and letting me know that this is a Staghorn Sumac tree.
The small tree is native to the northeastern United States and southern Canada. Native American Indians used to make a lemonade-like drink from its crushed fruit. The bark and foliage are rich with tannen, and where used for that in the olden days.

Now who/what has been at work here? A nice little pattern of holes in this treetrunk. I am always curious what insect or animal did this and why. Hmmm.... the guilty one clearly didn't want to have his picture taken, hahaha, I didn't spot any activity anymore.....

Okay, I've got the answer! Thanks Glenn (Bwana_Brown) for helping me out with this one! The holes were created by a type of woodpecker known as the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (there is also a Red-bellied version). As the name suggests, they are more into sap than insects, just like those maple sugar people!

Just before I turned around to walk back to the car I saw this sailboat coming out of the harbour. It looked so picturesque with its white sail on the blue water and the rocky coastline. Sigh.... wish I was on that sailboat! I love to sail, but haven't done it in a long time.

I just loved walking on these rocks, walking further and further, exploring more and more. Unfortunately my time was limited. I had to drive home that day, and it was still a long drive to go. So I couldn't stay as long as I wanted.

The coastline of Killbear Park is beautiful. It's located in the Georgean Bay. The rocks coming out of the water are beautiful of colour and there are some scatered trees growing on the rocky surface
