This Trail of the Turtle Spirit blog is meant to accompany the Lakeville Swamp hiking
column now on line and appearing in the February 20th print edition of
The Oakland Press www.theoaklandpress.com
The Lakeville Swamp is a Michigan Nature Association Sanctuary
The trailhead is located on the west side of Rochester Road just south of
Lakeville Road in Oakland County, Michigan
This natural growth on a trailside beech trail reminds me of a Loggerhead Sea Turtle,
thus the name I used for the trail: Trail of the Turtle Spirit
The stream is a magnet for wildlife and an 'artery' for the life of the swamp.
Watercress is already greening up as spring flirts with winter!
The tunneling, leaping trail of a white-footed mouse.
