[EN] Glacier displacement has peppered this bay with granite boulders and rugged shorelines. Minards Bay is home to Portage A, Portage E & Site 24. Shorter portage to Puzzle Lake is the alternative route to reach Peskowesk Lake.
Lantern Rock, is a big granite erratic that sits out in front of Minards Bay, marking the exit of Keji Lake down the Mersey towards the Eel Weir. If you see this big boulder, paddle up to it and you will notice a big nail sticking out of the top. A lantern used to be hung on that nail during the log-driving days (pre-national park). It guided the headworks towards the Mersey River as it towed a boom of hundreds to thousands of logs that were cut from the woods of Keji.
The cache can be reached via paddle only.
