Meeting Place: 2022-10-01 at 01:00 pm - 03:00 pm
Location: Pink Lake Trail Parking Lot
How to find us: Meet at the information boards located just at the start of the trail.
Starting time is confirmed at 1 pm. The Gatineau Parkway should be open by noon (To be confirmed - Fall Rapsody schedule not out yet, but I'm expecting them to be open every day at noon.)
This trail does involve climbing a few sets of stairs that are quite steep. If you have trouble with stairs then you may find it to be difficult.
Bring water and dress appropriately according to weather, and anything that may be able to help you feel comfortable. The total distance for this walk is 2-3 km (with elevation!)

As mask wearing has become optional even at indoors, I will not enforce the policy of having to bring a mask and social distancing. I will also not require vaccination to be a pre-requisite. Having said that, I will ask the group to honor each individual's choice to wear a mask and/or maintain social distancing during this walk.
Notes:
1. It was used to be a free parking lot (Free, but PACKED, so get there early)
2. No pets for this walk.
3. Facility is available at the trail head.
4. If photos of others are taken make sure that you acquired their permissions before posting them on this page.

9. Description
The Pink Lake trail is a 2.1 km loop trail located in the Gatineau Park that most people can complete in about an hour. It's a wonderful hike with beautiful views of blue green lake in the summer and yellow and red leaves in the fall. The trails are well maintained with observatories at various spots.
