Molega Lake/Beavertail Basin
MISSION TWO – EXPLORE MOLEGA LAKE
OverView
Molega lake is a 30km long lake situated not too far from Chelsea, Nova Scotia. We headed off in search of one of the islands, soon discovered we weren’t quite as fit as we’d thought and instead headed under a little bridge into Beaver Tail Basin.
A few kilometers up the lake we came across a lovely sandy beach…
Picnic spot
and stopped for our sandwiches…
Cam
Post sandwiches, we jumped back into the canoe and started heading back the way we came. Unfortunately we’d tied our dry sac to the middle bar in the canoe and weren’t able to reach our camera to capture some of the magnificent sites en route. One of the most impressive was a GIANT spider floating on the surface of the water. It was holding tension with it’s legs. It obviously thought we were land as it picked up pace whenever we went near.
