| Description | Planning three days of hiking on Cortes Island, staying at Linnaea Farm House. This is an eight bedroom rustic farmhouse, on the edge of Gunflint Lake at the gateway to many of the hiking trails on Cortes. This is still an active farm & was once the residence of the farmers who ran Lakeview Dairy, the last raw milk in B.C. I have ordered beautiful weather, allowing us to hike many of the trails, Green Mountain, Easter Bluff, Kw’as Park, Hanks Beech Forest Park, Sisken Forest Park, Carrington Trails etc. Or you can sign-up for farm chores. If you wish to bring your kayak, we can paddle the lake & beyond. A schedule of trails will be developed & presented daily with your input. I would also like to take you to the ‘Free Store’….pretty neat. Pot-luck dinners will be organized, using the kitchen at the farmhouse. You may chose to stay one/two nights……..let me know.
