Springside Park Napanee

This is part of our serious lunch trip, 116 km!
It's a lovely park! We passed it on our way in to the restaurant. You have to get there early to get a river-side seat, though! We arrived at 11:30, and snatched a table. Afterwards, we headed back to the park. It was the Napanee Mills back in the day.

There was serious grooming by the birds. Much fun.



I love the signage. Lots to learn, or things I've forgotten about glaciation, the Precambrian Shield and our blessed First Nations who put up with us.


This seagull was hopeful, but if you feed em' there will be trouble!



The light standards have been sponsored by individuals. Very poignant!


There is something peaceful about the river flowing by. This video I will go back to in the November freezing rain or hail!

Napanee Day Trip OVerview

The Waterfront Restaurant is a favourite of mine. We hadn't been in a year. Seriously! Hubby was game, and planned out a trip route that I could ignore. (Long-standing joke!)
Here is the first post!

We left at 9:45, and arrived at 11:40, drove 116km, and saw lots of lovely things on our way.

There are many neat little backroads one can take. Gillian GPS tells me if it is a dead end! You can see the little zig zags!

Here is our route, just in case we want to go back!!!

The drive is pretty, along the highways, very low water with the drought.

Wolfe Lake, along Westport Rd.

This is a lovely drive, the road runs right beside the lake.

You'll notice how the trees have given up the ghost. The leaves are turning.

Interesting Buildings

A wrap-around porch, a favourite of hubby's! 

Rock on!

The geology changes as we drive southeast.

Signage

A bit of a detour, looking for the cool bridge. I didn't manage to take a photo of the signage: ' Road Not Maintained by the County'

We couldn't find the old bridge. We ended up beside a quarry.
