I have explored this area several times in the past but studying the maps, I noticed an area where I had not yet been. Surely this is where the 'lookout' must be. 

The day was lovely, made all the more so by the lack of flying bugs. Two things that can really spoil a hike is extreme heat and mosquitoes.

It was surprising to me just how many people were parked at the trail head, a summer only road in rather poor condition. This was my opportunity to socialize a little and make inquiries about the elusive lookout. But, no one had found it and I began to think the trail was badly named. 

Lilly and I hiked for an hour one way. We passed several others and shared some congenial woodland chat but none could help me in my search for the grand view I was seeking.

Returning the way we came, quite tired and satisfied that there was no lookout to be had, we headed toward home. I did note though on the way to the trail, a lovely view of the bay looking back toward Wasaga Beach from the side of the roadway. So not to be skunked for the day I happily took the image you see and thought it probably better than any other view the trail may yet still have in hiding from me.
