South Chick Levy

2.5.13  Today there were eleven hikers in all.  The hike started out a little cold but soon warmed up as could be determined by hikers shedding clothing.  This hike is not the most exciting hike to be had, but it goes by a swamp area just loaded with different kinds of water foul.  We saw a duck that was later identified as a Northern Shoveler we think.  There were also some joggers and bicyclists  In this relatively short hike the group became quite spread out since some slowed to look at the birds.  Part of the group went a total of about 5 miles while others only went 4.6 miles on this easy hike.  By clicking  on the South Chickamauga Levy above, you can see a few pictures of the hikers and surroundings.
