The weather was about 22C and sunny so we decided to take another 'healthy walk'. Last time we were here the Millstream Trail was closed due to construction of the beautiful new boardwalk and bridge across the millpond. I emailed the park and found out the trail was now open.
The first thing to greet us was the Trilliums. A couple weeks ago when we were here we only saw one in bloom.
The suspension bridge over the nearly dry creek-bed was alive with Skunk Cabbage but other greenery was beginning to burst out.
The new boardwalk is truly luxurious. What a way to 'rough it' in the forest!
Some other hikers with a little dog politely kept their distance.
Even the pond was going dry as we have had very little rain this Spring. The forecast is for rain this week so fingers crossed.
For the past couple years the trail ended here at the stairs but they have reconditioned them so we can continue.
We thoroughly enjoyed our walk on a perfect Spring day.
