Beautiful Ramsey Lake


Yesterday was a beautiful day in Sudbury! The temperature was in the low 20s and the sun was continuously shining. I went for a walk on the boardwalk to see what the people in Sudbury were up to on such a lovely day. The boardwalk is a walking path that runs from Science North to Bell Park along the shoreline of Ramsey Lake.

Since it was a Monday afternoon, the majority of the people that I came across were mothers with young children or elderly retired people. Whether they were out for a stroll or taking an easy jog, one can assume that everyone was enjoying the nice breeze coming off of the water. There were numerous boats of all kinds out on the water as well. I was taken by surprise by the amount of water traffic. At one point, i could see a motor boat, a sea doo, the Cortina and a sail boat in the little bay in front of Science North. The Cortina is a boat used by Science North for tours around Ramsey Lake.

I ran into friends of the family who were hosting family from London, England. They didn't hesitate to let me know that they were having a wonderful time in Sudbury. Having just come from The Lakehouse Restaurant at Science North, they commented on how great the food and the view of the lake was.

I saw many people accompanied by their dogs. Since there are so many small beaches along the path it was nice to see that dogs are able to have plenty of water breaks on such a hot day.

Along the way, I was constantly stopping to take pictures because it was such a beautiful day. I couldn't help but be impressed by how picturesque the lake looked.

After 40 min of walking I finally came to Bell Park and the main beach. I saw all the city beach lifeguards getting ready for the summer ahead of them. They were doing their training, running in and out of the water pretending to save eachother.

It was a great day out on the boardwalk and definitely something I like to do often during the summer months.
