| Description | We will hike up to Newton Lake, down to Small Inlet, take the portage trail to Waiatt Bay and then back to the Newton Lake. Distance about 15 kilometres – will take approximately 6-7 hours (including lunch and short swim stops at Newton Lake) If there is sufficient interest, there will be a shorter option, for those who want to go to Small Inlet, but not continue on to Waiatt Bay. |
| Meeting Place | Quadra Community Centre |
| Departure Time | 9:00 |
| Difficulty |
A rocky, rutty initial kilometer, and a steep section at Small Inlet, plus overall distance makes this a moderate – not easy – hike. |
| Costs | Share fuel costs |
| Trip limits | 10 |
| Dogs? | No |
| Notes: | Bring plenty of water, lunch and snacks, and swimming stuff if you want to swim. The trip is best on a good summer’s day so will be postponed if the forecast is for rain. |
