Knox-ville

Did some short hikes/walks in the Town of Knox today. First stop was the Limestone Rise Preserve. Parked at the trail-head on Nash Road. Followed the entrance trail, crossed the road, and then followed the loop trail in the southern portion. The preserve is noted for the many fissures in the limestone rock. There was a fair amount of crunchy snow that was deep in spots. Didn't sink in too much but it still made walking somewhat difficult. About 1.3 mile round-trip.
Next, a quick stop at the Knox Town Park. There was a short trail that lead to a boardwalk for viewing the wetland. Didn't see any wildlife.
The last place I went to was the Margaret E. Burke WMA. Visited both the northern and southern portions of the state forest. Followed old roads for the most part. Another 2.0 miles to add to the total.
Kind of cold, gloomy day. Hopefully, Spring will be here soon.
