Total distance - .41
This trail was technically closed due to flooded trails but we walked back as far as we could before turning around and coming back out. Saw lots of deer tracks down the path. This would be a great woods to hike on a much drier day.

So this trail begins on the boardwalk All People's Trail we walked last weekend but then continues into the woods and around. Still quite wet muddy and squishy. Sun was shining and it was a nice day.

South Trail

Total distance - 1.73 miles
Went back to this park hoping the trails would be a lot drier than last weekend. Probably less than half was still pretty wet and muddy. Shoes got pretty muddy but socks stayed dry. This trail takes you along the river and right past a natural sulphur spring bubbling out and flowing directly into the river. Yes it stunk. Saw lots of deer hoof prints along the trail in the soft mud but no deer.

Kendrick Woods Boardwalk

All People's Trail

Between Lima and Van Wert

Total distance - 0.49 miles
I found this Nature Preserve/Park on the Internet after one of Rich's coworkers recommended it. Very nice park and facility. It is still too wet and chilly. We took daughter Dayna and grandson Kaden with us. We just did the short paved boardwalk today because the trails were too wet and muddy and also because Kaden was coughing too much. We will be back as soon as it warms up and dries up. If you look close at the last picture we spotted a small snake.

Found this small nature preserve by searching the Internet. It's only 3.5 miles south of Decatur. There is just something so refreshing and relaxing about walking through woods undisturbed by man. Listening to the little chipmunks , squirrels and rabbits scurry around, and hearing all the birds. Yes it was chilly, squishy, muddy, wet and cloudy. But it was fun and I loved it.

This trail is just outside of Pokagon State Park. Drive out of the entrance to Pokagon State Park (SR 727) and turn left on SR 127. After passing CR 500N, you will come to Lane 150 - Little Otter Lake. The ACRES parking lot is here by the intersection on your left. This is a loop trail that is very hilly and strenuous. This was our last hike of the day.
