We so enjoyed putting out the K & P Ticket and Fauna series, that we thought we would continue along the trail. This time, the theme is the FLORA. If you see any of the trees or flowers mentioned, please feel free to take pictures and post them at the appropriate cache – but please, NO PHOTOS OF EACH CACHE (sure, the log if you have to).
BIKING is possible for the whole trail. This trail is NOT recommended for thin tires! Puddles may need to be crossed after wet weather.
If you don’t see any flora, then you are caching way too fast and not seeing the trees for the forest! Enjoy the ride and enjoy the diverse plant life.
FIDDLEHEADS
Fiddleheads, while not a wildflower, may be of some interest to those who seek out wildflowers, since inevitably, one will stumble across them while looking for early spring flowers.
Fiddleheads represent the emergent ferns. They poke through the rich forest soil about the middle of May, and if they're able to escape the grasp of someone with gastronomical designs, they will eventually carpet the forest floor as ferns.
PARKING: One or two cars can park where the trail intersects roads, but pay attention to NO parking signs so as to not block entrances. A nice place to leave your car in Calabogie is at the end of the trail (N45 17.916 W76 43.033) which is at the local beach and Tourist Information spot. You may want a quick swim?
