We have a nice campsite right on the lake for easy canoeing access and 1\/2 mile from the 46 mile bike trail.<\/p>\n

On our\u00a0 paddle trip Saturday downstream from camp, we found the water was 3.8\u2019 on the USGS 02312500 Gauge which was a nice level.<\/p>\n

We made it to Hog Island and then paddled back upstream to camp, about 8 miles and 3 hours paddling.<\/p>\n

We saw lots of birds and turtles and right near where we turned around we saw a really big gator. We didn\u2019t notice his nice bed of flowers until I looked at the photo.<\/p>\n

On Sunday I biked to town to buy some groceries and Peggy got a little rest. After saying goodbye again to our friends on Monday we went south on the bike trail for about a 10 mi round trip. Peggy made it up the bike highway overpass without walking so she is getting stronger.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday it got a little warmer so we decided to go canoeing again. This time we went upstream past all 4 campgrounds for about a 7 mile round trip. It is not as scenic and there is not as much wildlife as the downstream section, Even though it was sunny we didn\u2019t see any gators.<\/p>\n
