Page THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday September 1M0 Recreation activities should cater to the environment By BARBARA HALSALL Recreational Choices I hope some of your holiday time has allowed you to get close to nature We have just enjoyed a week at a cottage in the Muskokas The quiet in this not too populated lake was wonderful In fact it was almost a shock coming from our day to day sounds In the quiet any sounds that did occur really stood out When you go to a lake what sort of pastimes do you choose Are they a source of air water or noise pollution Water skiing can be very exciting but could you not get as much excitement from skimm ing over the waves on a sailboard Gliding silently along the water in a canoe allows you to hear bird calls and to reach areas that are in accessible to You can also travel into other lakes because you can pick up a canoe and tage If kids need a stable boat to enjoy the water how about a rowboat It takes some coordination and is cer good exercise A peddle boat is another fun item that uses peo ple power and only contributes laughter as sound In Toronto there is an establishment called Silent Sports It is certainly worth con sidenng how much noise you will create when you are a choosing a sport A sailboat is another adventure worth trying They come in all Terra Cotta ideal site for holidayers The Labour Day weekend marks the last weekend of summer for many camping enthusiasts in Southern Ontano if you re still looking for a great place to camp away from it all yet only minutes from home why not consider the Terra Cotta Conservation Area If you are looking for a back to nature camping weekend the Terra Cotta Conservation Area fits the fill says C V C A spokesper son Robert Peace I guess one of the things that makes us different are the things we don t offer in eluding a lot of noise and a carnival like atmosphere If you re looking to get away from it all then Terra Cotta is the place for you The Terra Cotta Conservation Area has 123 campsites and group camping All sites are serviced by washrooms 24 hour shower and fire pits Terra is also linked to the Bruce Trail for hiking en thusiasts and his stocked fish ponds for the ai gler Mini golf is also available Campsites are per night with one vehicle Group rates are available upon request Terra Cot Conservition Area is open for camping throughout September For more information or to reserve campsite please call between am and sizes and prices If sailing catches your interest you are probably wise to consider a club where you can get instruction for the whole family There are many different motorized toys on the water It is certainly worth looking at quieter alternatives that give us a break in water and air pollution as well as a noise break Motorboats will still be needed for transportation so if you are choosing one aim for a motor that is not a gas guzzler Take special care with gas and oil to avoid spills in the lake Remember one litre of gasoline can contaminate million litres of water so that it is not fit to drink U S drinking water stan dard Electric motors are something else you might in vestigate Do you need a motor to go fishing In some American lakes motorized trolling is against the law If you row you are less likely to spook the fish Fly fishing while quite different still has the same thrill with a catch Fish for many species from shore This works especially well in the fall An avid fisherman tells me that some very good catches can be made night fishing from docks when the fish feed shallower If you are not rtidy to give up trolling tr using motor less Observe the wind and currents Don use an anchor and position boat so that you wind drift over the best areas You can also troll from one fishing spot to the next really lowers gas con sumption We all make choices around our recreational pastimes The dec sions we make can make a ference With POWER A SNEAK PREVIEW OF OUR NEW LOOK FOR THE 90s WEIGHT MANAGEMENT with a
