Mary Lake

The last two weekends, I have been sick in bed. I'll spare you the details, because they are nasty. I feel like I've been robbed of four days of beautiful Northern California weather.  In between my illnesses, I did manage to squeeze in a walk with a friend last week at Mary Lake.  After the kids are off to school I have a couple of hours before I need to be at work. My friend Stacy helps motivate me to get out and get some exercise.

I love having this trail so close to our home. It is peaceful and beautiful.

There is quite a bit of wild life around the lake; Canadian geese, beaver, fish, ducks, and turtles are often found while walking.  I had known there were beaver at the lake for a while, but this was the first time I actually saw one!

Where is your favorite walking trail in Redding?
