Queen Elizabeth Wildland - Sheldon Lake (Day Hike)
Details
Scouting trip on QEW (Day hike only, not overnight) - basically we will follow the Ganaraska trail until we hit Sheldon lake. Around 4-5 KM 1 way (1-2 hours). I've done this trail before in the Winter, but it's probably been 10+ years.

Meeting point is Devil's Lake Access point - 1115 Devil's Lake Road.
Assumes that the weather does get warmer by March and non-SUV /4 wheel vehicles can access the parking lot, which presumably is unmaintained. This also means no registration / parking fees needed.
The weather will still be cold in March. Anyone interested ensure you have the right gear to stay warm and for hiking and bring your own breakfast / lunch. You are responsible for your own safety.
Unless things change, I'm planning on taking my 4.5 year old daughter along as a weekend outdoor activity, so beginners are welcome and we will likely go slow.
1 - Mainly hike along the trail and see the conditions for future overnight backpacking trip.
2 - If there is time, explore the different camp sites along the lake to see which would be best for a future trip and for different group sizes.
