Hiking, Canoeing and Relaxing at Hidden Valley Nature Center

My friends and I spent the day at Hidden Valley Nature Center.  We rented the Pond Cabin, hiked the 1.4 miles in from the parking lot and enjoyed a terrific potluck lunch, followed by an afternoon of canoeing and paddle boarding.  

It was a great day to be out on the lake.

As we sat admiring this blue heron, a martin came from the grass and attempted to attack it.

Paddle boarding, mixed with swimming.
