I'm glad I didn't take my bike. The trails at the Waskahegan Staging Area at the Cooking Lake - Blackfoot Provincial Recreation Area were mud covered.

After a few days of rain, the forest was looking green, the wildflowers were in full bloom and the insects were enjoying all of them.

The short trail around Neon Lake takes about 30-40 minutes as long as you are not toting a camera! If you head out to the trails, don't forget the bug spray. The mosquitoes are waiting for you.
