While walking this trail you can see plenty of wildlife along the way. Squirels are all over, something my dog loves to chase but they are always too fast for her. Rabbits too. She had gotten a couple and the sound just puts me in tears.

Deer, bear, beaver, snakes, fox, and so much more. I love to just stop and watch how they live in their natural habitat. Love to see the squirels chase eachother. Looks like lovers at play.

Walking and watching the animals puts me at peace. Such an amazing site to watch while I am getting myself fit and healthy. With the amazing things your watching, you don’t even noice the hard work your putting in for your health.

A lot of birds in the trees as well. I could never get enough watching birds. At home I watch them all the time at my bird feeder and I try to watch them in the trees while we are walking. Does get a little hard the trees kind of camouflage them. Some spots on the trail are full of trees so hard to see anything in those spots.
