Hiking on the boardwalk around the edge of Reelfoot Lake is a good way to see native plant and animal life, with each season offering up its own variety of treasures.
“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery … I thought ‘this is what it is to be happy.'” ~Sylvia Plath
Occasionally, we like to take part of an afternoon and go sit down by the Mississippi River. We go mainly to watch the towboats pushing the barges …
… and to see the eagles which nest along the river.Â
It’s also interesting to observe the flora and fauna along the shoreline.
“Sometimes we’d have the whole river to ourselves for the longest time …” ~Mark Twain
