adventure along the Winnegance
It's early morning and you
and a friend have started the day's adventure on
the Winnegance. You're on the same route that
early American Indians used to traverse the peninsula.
Along the way you look for
ospreys, moose, beaver, herons, and cormorants that
frequent the area. They are what the locals call
"Creek Creatures." Your trusty 35mm camera
is within arm's reach.
The 3 1/2 mile long Winnegance
is before you. Along the way, the breeze picks up.
You recall that a local told you that the Indians
named the creek Winnegance, whose literal
translation is "Wind Against." The breeze
to your face will make the return trip that much
easier.
Rounding a bend, you come
upon a family out for their own canoe adventure.
The creek is shallow and well protected, making
it ideal for families with children. Many small
coves invite exploration. You wave as they slowly
ease by.
We believe that the Winnegance
Creek is a perfect place for paddling adventure.
It is accessible from I-95 just 15 minutes away,
and the price to enjoy a paddling day is very reasonable.
A true nature experience, catering to introductory
level participants. Although just 15 minutes from
I-95 interstate, it is a well preserved area of
nature that looks much like it did in days of old.
