As expected, camped at the Pinery 2 weeks ago, so we did get a day of rain (actually 4 of the 8), so we took a drive up to the park to take a look. Lots of walking. Very nice park .... some really nice sites too, clean, modern, lots of privacy. But, as i am typing this, i popped on to the Ont Parks website and looked at a site map of the park .... we may have missed some of the nicer sites in Holmes Bay section ( wife n i are now sitting here blaming the other), as we did the farthest area first. Oh well, guess we are going to have to do a weekend excursion this winter and go for another walk! Of what we did see though, sites 75 n 76 were favorites, as u could easily slip down to the beach from your site with your lawn chair in the early morning or in the afternoon with a cold beer or two, and sit in the chair with your feet in the crystal clear water! Thank you Lord for Lake Huron ....now can you possibly do something about Lake Erie, it's disgusting.
BTW.... for all that are missing the large beach at the Pinery, happy to report there are signs that its returning, most beach we have seen there in quite sometime. On another note, the large handicap beach access ramp they built in beach access 8 is no longer there, the platform itself is still there, but the ramp is gone. The platform makes for a terrific viewing area, but i'm sure all the local sponsors who contributed to the cost of building the ramp are going to want it transformed back to an access point for the handicapped again
