Sunday, July 20, 2014 The Lord's Day began with an early morning service on Lynx Lake. The 5* campsite has a perfect theatre section on its highest point to hold this service. "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above" was the text for the day. To see this wonderful part of God's creation was the reason for the trip. We were not disappointed at all and certainly thankful for His providential care as we would soon find out.
The Lynx campsite affords a tremendous view of the lake. It has multiple viewing areas, a great campsite, many places for tents and hammocks. The landing is not the greatest but the site more than compensates for it.
In the afternoon Luke, Evie & I decided to see if we could find Warpaint Lake. We had heard that it did not have a portage and no one had seemed to have been there. We did find it and it is a hidden gem located to the south of Ruby Lake. I have a short trip report related to that trip posted on this site as well. This picture shows the island you see as you enter the lake.
