A Bike Ride on the Black River Feeder Canal Trail - Part 2

Edmonds Road to Hawkensville
July 20,2010

One late afternoon, we drove to Edmonds Road to continue our ride on the feeder canal trail.  The trail seems similar to the first section that we rode the other day.  But that was just at the beginning.

There were still some forested sections and wildflowers beside and on the trail, birds and butterflies buzzing by.

But  there were also expansive meadows, made beautiful  by early blooming golden rods.

Several homes border some sections (unexpected, since we had to cross several roads- Miller Woods, Williams, Hayes Rd E), the trail almost abutting their lawns.  Birdhouses are seen not just at the backyards but on the canal as well.











After 4miles, we reached Hawkensville Road, another signpost showing us the next leg to Boonville.  But it's getting late, we still have to ride back to Edmonds Rd, we haven't fully recovered from the recent long ride, etc., etc., so that will have to wait another day. 

Great Ride!

Sanity check:  If the trail is 10miles long, how come the sign says 3 miles to Boonville and 9 miles to Forestport?
