The start of today's hike near the park entrance. This is Fishing pond 1 at the start of the trail. The first part of the trail is adjacent to the golf course. Crossing the creek on this footbridge. This is a wildlife observation deck overlooking a clearing. Dave and "Clover"! Fishing pond #2 with more ducks. Walking along the North Fork of the Broad River. Ice on the trail left over from last week's Arctic blast! More ice! . A beautiful spot but very slippery today! A great day for a walk in the woods! Crossing the iron bridge near the end of the hike.
