Hiking at Sand Point Frontenac State Park



Was not expecting this sign as the boardwalk typically floods in spring, and the water is currently not high. We didn't take this, our usual trail. 



















On the return, we tried to find the boardwalk only to learn that it had been removed, and the trail no longer maintained. This was the only bit of it that we found.



It looks to me that it will not be repaired and/or replaced. So many memories and great hikes here!




This is the boardwalk trail.....what is left of it. Clearly not being maintained any longer.


We used to love this trail in the spring, when the area was filled with water. We braved the hordes of mosquitos to walk the boardwalk. Here is an older video.
