This my “Bog Walk” but with additional mileage.
Col. Nathaniel Thomas Mill sits alongside RT58. It was the first dam built in Plymouth County to derive power from a water wheel. First used as a sawmill but later as a tack/nail and trunk factory. Today the mill can be rented by people or organizations for varied uses including weddings, functions, yard sales, and etc.
A little snow never hurt. Left over form previous days before and left in shaded areas.
The cabins at Camp Kiwanee which was retreat for Albert Burrage (who originally owned my “Burrage Walk” land) Camp Kiwanee now has camping in the cabins, the Needles Lodge can be rented for functions and such. There is also a beach, Cranberry Cove, on Maquan Pond. The compound is nestled in a pine groove set way off RT58.
It was sunny to start but clouds set in from the west. There were quite a few scenes like this appearing on the way home.
A view just outside Camp Kiwanee from a small hill looking down of the abandoned bogs. Indian Pond is in the background, 120 acres in size. The Bay Circuit Trail meanders through both Camp Kiwanee and the bogs leading into Pembroke.
