Well, it turned out that all of the recent rain made the Mountain Fork River unsafe for our planned whitewater canoe trip. Instead, we enjoyed a morning hike around the Craven Nature Trail a couple of times. Located on the north side of the Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge, the Craven Nature Trail is a mile-long hike through woodlands and out to an overlook walkway on Dick’s Pond.
Birds are common along the trail, and waterfowl can be frequently seen on Dick’s Pond, including herons, ducks, and geese. This is an easy family hike and taking children along for the hike is not a problem. The trail has minimal elevation change, and the wooden walkway and overlook provide an interesting break in the hike.
