greetings from bear head lake state park in ely minnesota
all right you guys so we are up here in ely
are about to kayak right here on a bear head lake and oh my gosh you guys it
is so pretty it's a little chilly though this
morning so i'm glad we got our sweatshirts here
it's a little bit but it's just such a beautiful morning so
we cannot wait to get out here with our kayaks and do some kayaking
um one thing about this lake is that it has like
little narrow areas and islands so hopefully it stays nice and calm out
here so let's get started
this is the boat launch area that we are going to dock in
and then kayak from here
all right you guys we're on the water here
it's so nice to be back up here we haven't been to their head at lake state
park for a long long time we came for sure
last time we were here and it was amazing i remember we like
loved this park so we figured labor day weekend
it's a good time to come back and enjoy so this morning it was 50 degrees
outside you guys just cooling down the beginning
of september so of course we're getting a little
little more cooler weather especially up north
so it's refreshing
wow and the lily pads
wow this is so pretty
so planned for today we are gonna spend our morning here at the park
we're gonna do a little hiking after we're done kayaking we like to
usually start our mornings with kayaking just in case it does get a little windy
then it seems like it's always calmer in the morning so we always start our days
with kayaking do a little hiking and then we're gonna
head into ely and then we have more hiking plans so um
yeah we have a full day ahead of us so just stay tuned for all those videos
they'll be to follow we are staying the night in
italy this weekend so yeah we're really excited to spend
labor day weekend up here in newly it's gonna be
a great weekend
so i don't really know how far we're going to kayak up here
we're just going to kayak until we're ready to turn around
it's like paradise in here guys this is like god's country
so there's my husband getting stuck on trees
a surprise so the weeds are starting to turn brown
oh you know what that means winter's coming
how's it going on what's up what'd you find over there
beaver you going to beaver dam there was no beaver though that's like what he
does when we kayak he goes to scope out all the beaver dams but he never finds
the beaver so i don't know guys where are these
beavers they feeling like more fall weather up here the leaves are just
starting to turn but not like they're still pretty green
oh it's still t-shirt weather she's like yeah i'm in the coat he's in the t-shirt
that's just normal on the way up here our truck we have temperatures on each
side his was at the lowest it could go which
is like what 65 degrees and mine's at 80. so yeah that's how we
roll but it's nice out here the sun is warm
still so it feels so good oh
what a pretty pretty pretty day to be out here
i love their head
so we just made it to the end of this side of the lake
i thought it was farther but it wasn't that far so
we turn around and head back and then probably go do some hiking
we found the sunny hole i don't know if you can see them in the video but
there's a lot of sunnies they blend right into the weeds but
they're there i'm not lying
they're just little guys though nothing too big that's okay grow up littles
get big yeah my husband says they're staying on the sunny side
so there's another guy kayaking over there and he's fishing
should i tell him the sunnies aren't there they're right here
it's been moving around a lot trying to find fish a little sunny it's your
secret to stay with us it's okay the one really cool thing about this
campground here is that they have all these little
docks that just kind of come off of the campground and they're just like
lined all the way down the shore people can like come up here and fish
it's so cute i just love them we're just getting back to the dock area which is
just like right there and now the lake is just a bigger body
of water and of course it's a little more wavy now
but it's still easy to kayak in but once we get back to the dock we would have
kayaked about two miles a round trip so not too bad i'll put a map here
of where we did our little kayaking adventure through those
narrow channel areas that were amazing it's just
right around the corner from the boat access it's awesome from the boat launch
area you can walk the beach trail to the
beach so we're gonna do that you can drive over to it but
we're ready to do some walking so that's what we're gonna do
pretty beach area i'll take a beach any day
wow look at these pines they're huge
it's like white and sandy down there oh my gosh you can totally swim here
it's so pretty it's like the perfect swimming area
straight sand wow
all right so now we are gonna do a norberg lake trail which you can
actually just park right here and it's like a 0.3 mile hike
otherwise you can walk to it from like inside the park
because there's a few different ways you can get to it but the shortest way is
the location right outside the park entrance so
that's how we're rolling today
wow you guys these pines are so pretty look at this
wow that's crazy so this area reminds us when we were in voyageur's national park
early this summer this area we were hiking you come down
to the lake area and it's like these pines
this is so pretty wow
i don't know what's going on with this tree but we got a wiggly tree
oh my goodness there's another wiggly one oh my goodness i wonder what
happened it's weird they're all kind of like that
look at that you guys that's weird they're all like curved it's not my
camera either it's literally there to curve that way this
is a really pretty lake this is norberg
gotta get our little passports down for the minnesota state park passport
there it is
all right ready yep
