C&O Canal, Lock 21, Swains Lock, 2023-06-03

We had an awesome visit to the C&O Canal, Lock 21. During this visit we walked 2 miles, south one mile and back.

Birds

The highlight of the walk was seeing an owl and three Great Blue Herons.

Reptiles

We saw multiple turtles.

Trees

If I am in a forest, I am going to take a picture of a tree. Actually, I am going to take more tree pictures than anything else.

Water

On this part of the path you can see the Potomac some and then you can see the islands that are between the path and the Potomac. I believe the views will be awesome in the winter months when there is no tree foliage.
