A favourite walk with the dogs from here is down the lower path to the top of Red Point and the tremendous view there, and then on down to the beach on the far side of the point where the dogs love to run.  With the cold winter there has been much more and thicker ice than usual so it is currently a maze of broken ice pans and bergy bits that I have found fascinating.  Barb and Kevin Dillon and I were down there Saturday for a look.

On top it is all quite flat but then quite a scramble over the edge to get to the beach on the water side of the ice.
