The answer: Yes and no. Though it’s located on the ever-expanding shore of Lake Huron west of Ferndale - and I’d like to camp and swim there before the water disappears completely - I’ll never find it again.
[Messages and melodies in the sand]
We were fortunate enough to locate it yesterday thanks only to directions from a person who lives a few kilometers from the park.
After playing in the water for a few minutes I asked myself a few questions:
Is lack of money for signage a problem for provincial parks? We only saw one sign and it was at the entrance to the park.
[The one and only sign telling us there is a park at Black creek]
Is the water level getting lower chiefly because of our insatiable and increased demand?
[You actually can take a long walk off a short pier]
Should we start making lifestyle changes and sacrifices in order to ensure a healthy future supply of fresh water?
If yes, what would those sacrifices be?
Long showers? Golf? Watering the lawn? The backyard pool?

Umm..yes,yes,yes, and yes. And drinking tap water, not bottled water.
Lovely picture of the sandy lake bottom - I can almost feel my toes in the warm water!
Thanks for visiting, theresa.
my friend said the water was warm enough for a swim. but it was pretty shallow so in 3 feet of water I bet it would have been a chore.
GAH
