Alongside Kingsmere Lake

 Here's a look at Kingswood. I headed down the slope towards the lake.


A pump house can be seen here.


Kingsmere Lake is a beauty, but especially so in the fall. Its very name was an influence on Mackenzie King buying land here. Some cottages can be found here, grandfathered in from the time of the creation of Gatineau Park.


Here we see Mackenzie King's boathouse, built in the early years for boating and swimming.


A short walk beyond is a set of stone steps leading right into the water. I took several shots.
