Nice day for a river walk

[worldtalker]

First stop was the Enfield Dam.

The Enfield Dam, begun in 1827 to avoid the rapids and to divert water into the Windsor Locks Canal, is a wooden crib structure (crisscrossed logs or squared-off timber, with rock fill) that now spans the Connecticut River just south of the Rt. 190 bridge between Enfield and Suffield. Nearly 1,500 feet long, the dam fell into disrepair in the late 1970s and is now breached in many areas. As a result, the water level above (north of) the dam has dropped

Found a nice pair of Eagle Claw Needle Nose.



Ferns growing out of the old pump house.

Can hardly remember all that snow now. Thanks for cleaning up that mess, but I got a feeling it's going to be a daily routine for somebody.

I noticed there was a sign up asking for volunteers to help keep the area clean,most are retired folks.

Any day's a good day for a river walk - in my opinion. Would wish there wouldn't be a mess for you to clean up, though.
