Information
This tour could be called the Snake
River Tour. The Snake River meanders back and forth from Lake Dore to
Muskrat Lake and you will cross the river five times on this tour. This
is a relaxing tour that takes you past some of the County’s dairy
farms and farming communities. Lake Dore is known to be the largest fresh
water lake without an island in North America. However, some locals claim
it is the largest lake without an island in the world. Take your pick
of distinctions and be sure to take a dip at Wilberforce Township Park.
