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.
