On the Fringes of Wilderness

Shots from one corner of the Blue Mountain-Birch Cove Lakes Wilderness Area, near the Colins Road trailhead for the Hobsons Lake Trail. These look like shots from the deep woods but are really no more than a minute from a suburban cul de sac in Bedford NS. The Wilderness Area extends quite a ways from here; these are just the fringes.

Near the trailhead, a dog poop bag dispenser that says “Poop happens” in English, and “The needs, they are normal” in French.

A nearby chair reminds us that this is native land.

You are on native land

More on the Blue Mountain-Birch Cove Lakes Wilderness Area. I want to explore the trails around here more in the future.
