Berry Pond is the area's day use facility, and is open Memorial Day to Labor Day. The pond has a sand beach and new washhouse with flush toilets and changing stalls set against a beautiful backdrop of trees reflected in the surface of the pond. Lifeguards are on duty from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily. Grills and picnic tables are available for anyone wishing to picnic at Berry Pond. Lorraine Park Campground, located about 2 miles from the Headquarters on Jenkins Rd., contains 91 sizeable campsites that are spread out sufficiently to provide a real "forest" camping experience. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and a grill, and although no electric or water hookups are available, the bathrooms do have hot water showers. Camping is offered mid-April to mid-October; office hours are from 9am-9pm.

The Baidarka Explorer was designed by Derek Hutchinson. It has a very pronounced V–shaped hull and as it has a cutter bow and stern the keel extends the whole length of the waterline. This coupled with its Swedish form makes it quite a fast boat. The turned up bits on the bow and stern are Hutchinson’s interpretation of the bifurcated bows on the skin boats of the Aleutian Islands (it's Russian for 'little boat').
expedition boat designed to carry large loads. It’s very good at going from A to B in as straight a line as possible but it's not very manoeuvrable: even when edged right over in a high brace turn it doesn’t turn quickly. When loaded that deep V keel is pushed down into the water and the soft chines give it very good secondary stability. When cranked over there’s a positive feel to edging. But when empty it rides higher in the water so you’re sitting on that V shape which makes it very twitchy and the positive feel of the chines disappears. The high peak on the fore deck makes it a very easy boat to roll. This is an old design now there are more modern expedition boats around that will carry as much, are just as fast, more manoeuvrable and better behaved when empty.
But they don't look so weirdly wonderful.
I bought mine second-hand in Anglesey, and carried it back on the ferry to Dublin. Customs didn't know what to make of it: I had it slung on my shoulder and said it was hand-luggage. It's made of kevlar/carbon, super-light compared to plastic boats and is near-indestructible.
It's 20 years old this year - about a third of my age - and I want to be pushed out to sea in it when I'm dead.

'About 60 grey seals have been culled on one of the Blasket Islands off the coast of Co Kerry. The Irish Seal Sanctuary blamed local fishermen for the slaughter of the seals. "There's only one direction the finger can be pointed at: the fishing community," said group spokesman Mr Sean Eviston, who travelled to Beginish Island off the coast of the Dingle peninsula to confirm reports of the cull. Mr Eviston said the grey seals killed were mostly "whitecoats," pups about three weeks old. He said the attackers appeared to have used several methods to kill, including gun shots, beating the animals with rocks, and driving nails into their skulls. "They ripped some of these seals open from the nape of the neck," he said. Gardaí are investigating.he Minister for the Environment, Mr Dick Roche, described the slaughter of the seals as "cruel and barbaric". He has sent a department official to the islands to investigate. The cruel and barbaric slaughter of these seals has a de-humanising effect on society. The sight of seals being bludgeoned to death is repugnant," mr Roche said. ishermen have been blamed for occasional slaughters of seals on the islands that dot the western and southern coasts of Ireland. Nobody has ever faced charges. rey seals are supposed to be a protected species under Ireland's Wildlife Act of 1976. Beginish is part of the Blasket Islands, Ireland's largest sanctuary for grey seals. The Irish Seal Sanctuary estimates that fewer than 400 grey seals are resident in the islands, down from about 2,000 a half-century ago.'

Vigo drew a great picture of a sunset over Mount Hood. Here's a picture of it: Once we found a camp site we pitched our tents and went to the lake for a little swim. There were a lot of people in the lake, swimming, fishing, and boating. It would be preferable to camp on the East side of the lake because that side gets sun on the shore longer than the West side. The water was pretty warm. There were salamanders and dragonflies and frogs and ducks and chimpunks around the lake. The ground was very dry and the kids kicked up a lot of dust. They were pretty much covered in dirt except when they were swimming or sleeping. We managed to clean them up enough for lunch and supper and bedtime, but apart from that we let them go around looking like they'd been raised by wolves.

Vigo caught a frog for the first time in his life. We found a spot on a path in the woods that seemed to be a favorite of little brown and green tree frogs. They were all over the place, and pretty easy to catch. Very cute, too. The whole camping area is full of chipmunks who are fairly tame. They're just waiting for you to get four or five feet from the picnic table so they can hop up and snag some food. They're cute, but at the same time kind of gross, leaving chipmunk turds all over the picnic table after their sunrise scrounging. I woke up a few times in the night. A couple times I heard some kind of wild canine in the far distance making whining barkish calls. Cayotes or wolves, I suppose. The kids had a great time roasting marshmallows and Vigo did a great job helping me collect firewood and make the fire. We did some shadow puppet theater on the side of the tent with Jason, Di-Ann, Emiko, and Tabor. Just before going to bed we caught a toad and made a shadow of him on the side of the tent for our friends. Di-Ann learned how to skip stones and Emiko figured it out, too. Vigo was a bit envious because he couldn't quite get the knack of it. Emiko is also a pretty great frisbee thrower. We had a great weekend and a really nice, long talk all the way home on Sunday night. I love it when vigo gets into a talkative mood.

This was a close-call three-day trip: where the weather was crucial but the forecast ... not quite as committed as I'd have liked. Rather than trespass on this benign somnolence, I decided to creep timorously down the exposed atlantic side of Great Blasket, to explore Inishvickillane and Inishnabo. Nearly my undoing (see Blaskets).

The Gearagh essentially forms an inland delta, where the River Lee breaks into a complex network of channels (2 to 6m wide) weaving through a series of wooded islands. It is the only extensive remains of Alluvial Forest found in western Europe. It is a unique place of streams, narrow channels and small islands.
Here are found some very rare plant and insect specimens which have been investigated and recorded by famous naturalists and scientists since the 19th century. There are 100's of species of flowers, plants and ferns. During the autumn and winter months migratory birds arrive in vast numbers and flocks of wild duck, snipe, woodcock, curlew, lapwing and swans can be seen on the islands. I watched an otter diving repeatedly for eels, and eating them floating on its back, the eel held in its forepaws.
The Gearagh can also be a very dangerous place - it is very easy to get lost, there are deep areas, muddy banks and floods do occur regularly. The photos with the cows show us completely lost and having to haul the boats across several semi-flooded fields to find a road.

In latter years the Gearagh has achieved a certain amount of fame as a source of poitin ('potcheen') - a highly potent raw-tasting alcohol brewed from malt syrup or molasses in illicit stills. The last time I ran a RiverTrek weekend, the weather turned - after a couple of capsizes I called a halt a few miles short of the end. We pulled the boats up high, and struck off across fields in the dusk. The house we stumbled on turned out be that of the elderly brother and sister who I used to buy my poteen from. They welcomed all eight of us, warmed us with a 'hot drop' - and drove us to our cars. The lower part of the Gearagh was flooded to form a reservoir for hydro-electricity - the stumps have all the gloomy horror of a 1st. World War battlefield.
