Walk Along the Canal

Today we woke up to another beautiful day! A little hazy, but sunny and gorgeous!

After breakfast we headed out to the big national forest area nearby and walked along the canal out to the farthest point. The path we took out was right on the water and really nice - straight almost the whole way. There were lots of birds and boats and all the fun things to see! Lots of great cormorants in the trees and they sound like movie monsters! I don’t think I ever heard them making noise before!

We got out to the far point for lunch then walked back through sand dunes and the forest and saw so many fun tiny birds and tons of great spotted woodpeckers! They were so loud! But walking through the trees with lots of birds singing was so nice! And so hot in the sun! It was a bit chilly walking along the water with a light breeze in the morning, but the air was still in the trees so it quickly warmed up!

It was a really nice walk and it was so empty and quiet out there - I think we saw 6 people on bikes and 3 people walking all day! Then when we left we got out to the main road that had a bike path along it and there were a ton of people there! I guess no one goes out to the reverse river delta park which is too bad. I really enjoyed it and would definitely go back and wander around again!Read more
