Sunny slabs of pink granite, tangles of tree roots and clear water singing over the river rocks makes for an invigorating combination. I find this out every time we visit this local waterfall, used by many as a natural waterpark. I just want to say that waterfalls make excellent foot spas.
Paddler's Paradise:

floating grass mats and

Wild Blackberries found near the pond |
Wild Wintergreen Mint grows on the esker on the property where we're staying |
These scenes are from hiking the esker, a long, narrow ridge of deposited gravel. Access to the esker trail involves an intriguing trek across a boardwalk that transects a giant fen!For more on the Lochlin Esker, or to find out how to see it for yourself, please visit http://lochlinesker.com/.
