Canoeing Camp-out, Belle Isle State Park, April 2012

We had a great Canoeing trip at Belle Isle State Park. We saw a Northern Water snake, ospreys, bald eagles, herons and crabs. The scouts and parents enjoyed the Canoeing trip very much. There was a threat of heavy rains but we escaped most of it. If you have any pictures from this trip, please share them with the troop.
