The light rain showers and the temperature hovering around 50 today was a big change from yesterday so a nature walk definitely had a chilly autumn feel with gray skies.

The low dew points makes a pleasant day for hiking on the first Sunday of autumn, enabling one to enjoy some of nature’s beauty before the leaves disappears from the trees and the winter snow arrives.

Color turning on some of the leaves provide a reminder that autumn is approaching but with the heat today, it still felt like summer and the refreshing mist from a rushing river was a welcome relief.

The heavy rains in the northern part of the state has caused a lot of washed out roads and even caused a dam to break which released a flood of water. Some rivers are over flood stage and others are look very wild with the extra water.

Many people were enjoying the outdoors on this sunny, warmer Sunday. For some it meant some yard work (at least were the snow has melted), but others may have taken a walk or even a hike. They would have to be extra careful if hiking along some of rivers which are running full or flooding due to the melting snow. It wouldn’t take long for a toy boat to disappear from sight in this fast flowing water.

Some of the streams are flowing again and I spotted some ducks where there was some open water but I imagine the water was a bit on the chilly side especially where new ice was recovering the ponds.

The weather, with lower dew points and comfortable temperatures, make it a perfect Sunday for a summer hike, especially along rushing water where you can soak your feet after a long hiking adventure.

The Wisconsin River doesn’t look very impressive where it starts it winding flow coming out of Lac Vieux Desert, a lake near the border of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan but it changes in size by the time it travels 430 miles across Wisconsin and flows into the Mississippi River near Prairie du Chien.

Recreation on a river means different things to people as some prefer kayaking, fishing, swimming, boating, wading or just enjoying and photographing the view from shore. The west channel of the Presque Isle River is a little more wild with the rapids and pot holes carved out in the rock bed.

Downstream from the Manabezho Falls is a series of rapids as the Presque Isle River divides into two swifter and narrower channels that cut deeply into the underlying bedrock before it empties into Lake Superior. In lower levels, you can walk across the rocky river bed and see the calmer water on the east channel.
