After our brealfast at the Leeside Restaurant in Tobermory we dropped off a car at Cyprus Lake
and then headed down the Emmett Lake Road to the Halfway Dump Side Trail parking.

We follow the Halfway Dump Side Trail for 900 m to the Georgian Bay shoreline

Clinging to the edge of the escarpment the Trail heads west toward CovePoint
where it emerges on a dolostone shelf.

From The Storm Haven Overnight Rest Area we head along a logging road
and emerge at a boulder beach

Elevensies

Another boulder beach

Halfway Rock Point

Indian Head Cove

We visit the Grotto and after a strenuous climb down Steve explores the Grotto.
Then it dawns on him he has to find a way out ........

The green water is where the underwater cave connects with the lake.

We reach the boulder beach and turn on to the Marr Lake Side Trail
that takes us to the parking lot at Cypress Lake..

Marr Lake

On the shore of Cypress Lake we came across two red chairs that were immediately occupied
by Helgy and Christine. Apparently Parks Canada has located 'Red Chairs' in most parks
across Canada at stratigic scenic locations.

After retrieving our cars we headed down Highway 6 for the long dive back to Oakville.
