Happy Dogs At The St. Regis Access - Part 1

The dogs and I embarked on a short hike at the St. Regis River Access, a state boat launch. There's a nice trail, some of it along the river, which is short and enjoyable:

Though the trail doesn't skirt the river, there are side trails down to the water every so often and we also take them. The dogs love to get their feet wet:

Daphne and Jack ran through the mud by the river to explore:

And then we returned to the trail:

At the next river access side trail, we climbed down some large, smooth rocks to the river:

A man in a rowboat slowly passed us as he headed back toward the boat launch. He waved and said hello as he glided by:

Seamus was fascinated, having never before seen a person in a boat. Fergus, of course, began barking and I had to order him to stop:

Jack and Clover were momentarily interested in the boat, but they had more exploring to do, and that was more interesting:

We left the river and got back on the trail. Luckily, the state keeps it mowed:

Fergus looked extra cute among the tall Milkweeds:

The trail veered farther away from the river and skirted some woodlands:

Jack, as usual, was running in big circles, having fun. I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
