I often walk the 1 mile trail around Reflections Lake whenever I go shopping in Palmer. It's just a lovely place to go for a little walk. About halfway around the lake there is a primitive trail labeled Wetlands Trail that leads to the confluence of the Matanuska and Knik Rivers, the two main rivers that run through Palmer. In the summer it's usually too wet and swampy to actually walk on it. But today it was frozen pretty solid so Bella and I walked all the way to where it met the rivers. As usual, it was quite peaceful because I've never encountered anyone else walking out there. It's only about 1/2 mile long, but it doubles the length of our usual walk around the lake. There are lots of interesting huge dead driftwood trees that have gathered along the shorelines. It feels like a wilderness thousands of mile from civilization yet it's only about 1 mile from the highway. Bella enjoyed investigating all the strange new smells.
