Great bachelorette trip! - Such a great time for our group of 7. Had my sisters bachelorette kayaking and seeing a lot of wildlife ! We had seen at least 10 turtles just hanging out on logs. Lots of Canadian geese, white and blue heron were hanging around shore. A surprise was seeing a couple of muskrats swimming around, twirling in the water. Over all was a great time !
