Lake Nawahunta...

When we got back down to the bottom of the mountain we decided to go and explore some of the exploring area before heading back to Manhattan, we could see lots of lovely lakes as we drove up the mountain and we wanted to find some of them.

All the lakes and ponds in the surrounding area have great native American names, like Lake Nawahunta ('He once was a gatherer, but he's nawahunta'... I'm making that up, I don't know how you're supposed to pronounce it).

We cam across this little lake by accident really, we were heading for a larger lake up the road but we slammed on the breaks when we saw this through the trees...

It was absolutely stunning.

It felt like we were should have been in Canada, not 50 miles from Brooklyn. It was so peaceful, so quite and the colours in the trees, the sky and the water were just so incredible. We just wanted to go swimming, or jump in a canoe and paddle around.

After soaking in the beautiful scenery we jumped back into Tawny and carried on down the road....
