(La version française suivra) In small town Lyndhurst, right by the beautiful old bridge is a very attractive dock used for canoe/kayak and very small boat launches. Their are swimming ladders and old brick homes that beautifully surround the little zen swimming spot. There is no sand, no beach but locals have told me that this is a popular swimming spot for the kids of the area. The water isen't very deep and no lifeguards are on the sites. The picture above doesn't do it justice. This peaceful, quaint location isn't being tested for water quality by the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit and has overgrown vegetation on the shoreline and algae in the lake.

Dans le petit village de Lyndhurst, juste après le vieux pont, se situe un magnifique quai pour la mise à l'eau des canots/kayaks et petits bateaux. Il y a trois échelles attachées au quai pour y nager et des belles vieilles maisons font vue sur le site de baignade. Il n'y a pas de plage ou de sable mais les locaux ont mentionné que les jeunes adorent se baigner ici lors des journées chaudes. L'eau est peu profonde et il n'y a pas de sauveteurs sur les lieux. La photo ci-haut ne fait pas justice! Ce petit endroit paisible et zen n'est malheureusement pas testé pour la qualité de l'eau, plusieurs algues domine le fond du lac malgré sa beauté.

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
