9/21/15 Little River Trail


Beautiful day to be in the woods - sunny and 60's. We started at the east end at the water district office.

Reservoir # 1 from there was looking good - but still no fall colors.


The trail is mostly close to the water but much of the bank is too steep for Kelley.

First spot she can get in


which she did


There is one road to cross and this takes you near the spillway. We were surprised to see no water coming over it; have never seen it without.


This was taken last October - note the water level behind the spillway


Kelley the other side of the spillway and you can again see how low the water is in the second reservoir.


We usually go to the point where the trail turns away from the water but found less and less water as we continued west

This area is usually under water


Shortly after this we turned back and were again near the water


Nearly back and a final swim.


A nice hike through pretty woods on a beautiful day. The low water was disappointing but we are finding low water everywhere we hike. Kelley did well. 2  1/4 hours

    Hi John, my bullmastiff, Rosie, and I had the good fortune to meet you and Kelley on the trail today. Thank you for the conversation and good humor. Will read your blog and take your advice! Hope to see you both again soon. -- Liane

    Wow, you're really low on water ! Are you sure you're not in California? Lol
    We had a pretty dry Summer as well and we're starting Fall pretty dry but at least is cooler and no humidity!

      Yes, Serafina, I read 13 inches below normal. I'm with you on the cooler weather

    The dam is needing some work so the water district drained down the reservoir..but I haven't seen any progress on the repairs yet..

      Thanks - I was worried for Belfast's water supply.
