Turkey Swamp Park




Our early-March Turkey Swamp Park hike started out with gently weaving leafy trails.



A small stream slips between the trees.



A poison ivy vine snakes up the trunk of a tree.



In a place called Turkey Swamp Park, swampy areas were no surprise.



The stream widens, flowing around rocks.



Turkey Swamp Park has an open lake you can explore in a canoe.



There are also grassy fields for tossing around a football, flying a kite, etc.



A colorful playground waits in the shadows of the trees.



Across the lake a roof floats within the trees.



The mud leading up to the lake is scarred with a messy pattern of geese tracks.



One friend poses on a bridge while another friend and I take pictures.



An interesting tree with reddish bark intermingled with a pale green fungus.



Bright green mossy patches sprout up randomly in the woods.



A wooden walkway lines the edge of the lake.
