The two RV Gypsies took a day trip in their toad from Jasper to Hinton. |

Located at the west end of Maxwell Lake in the Hinton Hill District, this 1.5 km wheelchair accessible wooden boardwalk traverses wetland and forest in a series of loops. |

Upon arrival here, Karen Duquette took a picture of a bit of water in a creek. When they left, there was litter in there, but she did not take a second photo showing the litter. Wake up people and stop littering! Litter hurts everyone, especially wildlife! |

The main loop of the boardwalk travels along an active beaver dam and is a great place to see wild beavers in their natural habitat. Of course the two RV Gypsies were not there at the right time to see any beavers. |

This area is a local birding hot spot and a bird list has been developed by the Whiskey-Jack club. Interpretive signs provide information on site about natural features and species found in the area. |

After leaving the Beaver Boardwalk, the two RV Gypsies stopped to eat. They seldom eat fast food, but Lee Duquette really wanted an A&W Root Beer Float. |

While at the Visitor Center earlier, the worker there recommend that the two RV Gypsies take a short drive to an area she said was the prettiest scenery in Hinton. Along the way, Karen noticed that the light poles all had different animal designs on them. |
