Woodlands of Bedford: Tinker’s Creek Stream Walk

8/6/2017

0 Comments

 
Overview:
Join Volunteer Naturalist Fred Losi on the 33rd annual in-stream exploration of the ‘green grand canyon’ of Bedford Reservation, the Great Gorge of Tinker’s Creek.  Wear wettable shoes and clothing as we will traverse the stream, floodplain and nearby habitats of this remote area of Bedford Reservation.  View massive shale and sandstone cliffs, waterfalls and pools, and secluded groves of mature floodplain trees with lush ferns and wildflowers.  Bring a light lunch, snacks, camera and binoculars.

What a great day Saturday was!  The creek level was marginally high, so initially we followed Hemlock Creek upstream.  After Vulcan Rock we reversed course and backtracked out.  We then hiked to the end the floodplain beyond Button Road Hill and entered Tinker’s Creek.  We managed to get to Powers Mill area and hiked back using the north rim trail.  Here are some recorded details:

Thanks to everyone for a fun adventure in the creek!  See you next time.
