The Maitland River

Our campground is in a U formed by the Maitland River and is run by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. There are trails all around this peninsula and Matey and I have walked along most of the river here.

We never did go down the steep metal stairs, but we found a trail to take us to the rivers edge away from the falls. The river along here is shallow and it flows rapidly.

It doesn’t look like a place for beaver, but they’ve been here.

The trails are lovely, some a tunnel through the trees.

Some places there are meadows,

and there is an area full of larches.

Bud came along for a river walk this morning. We took the trail along the south part of the property.

Here and there you get glimpses of the river.

And you come up to a little fishing pond.

But the highlight of the walk was watching this doe lead her fawn across the river.
