Meduxnekeag Red Trail and Blue Trail

After doing the purple trail just the other day we decided to go back and try the Red trail.  I have to honestly say the Red trail is by far easier then the purple trail.  We enjoyed the red trail as it led right bay a small brook.


Along the trail were many blank bridges and some nice seating areas.  It appeared that the trail was recently maintained as you could tell were large trees ones blocked the trail.  








 



We decided to take in the the blue trail as well.  The blue trail certainly was a lot easier then the purple trail but a bit harder then the red trail.  The blue trail went up hill around the top of the mountain and had a great look out over looking the tops of the trees, a great place to just sit and do some bird watching.

Meduxnekeag Purple Trail/ Van Dine Falls


The Meduxnekeag Purple walking trail is on of several on the Meduxnekeag Valley Nature Preserve.  This trail has much to offer such as Bird watching, Water Falls, several animals can be spotted inside the nature preserve. 




The purple trail features many plank bridges, rock walls, wooden steps and ropes for help on steep hills. 











The trail offers several smaller waterfalls one that appears like a large bowl caution should be taken as this is very slippery speaking from experience as my daughter slip in trying to wash her rubber boots.

Van Dine Falls





Several mushrooms and little critters could also be spotted.

Ayers Lake Look Out







The trail leading to the look out is somewhat rocky but still pretty easy walking, however i would not recommend taken a smaller car the last KM or so a truck or SUV I would highly recommend. On top of the hill is a  cedar fence keeping people from getting too close to the edge of the drop-off. There is also a cement picnic table at the lookout so people can sit and enjoy the view,on the picnic table you  can usually find a guest book in a container make sure you add your name to the list of visitors.

Osprey and Crane

While sitting at the river bank in Woodstock NB we notice this young osprey flying over head and occasional land in the tree next to us.








Just as I was ready to leave I notice which I believe is a Stork flying right over my head unfortunately
 the way I was sitting and on how fast it took place I only manage to capture this bird as a silhouette 



As I was leaving I also notice this little guy not sure what kind of bird he is but didnèt want to leave him out....lol




Mudding

Just a little stuck in the mud! I Thought I had to hook on with the Jeep and help these guys out.  However they had this mud under control!
