The 2010 Pequannock River Coalition Spring Hike took place on May 2nd. The hike took place near Dunker Pond in the NJ Highlands Newark Watershed lands.
Dunker Pond
The group traveled on an old carriage road (and nope, no carriages were on it today!) which used to have cow pastures to the side. Old barb wire from over a hundred years ago was still embedded in some old shade trees on the side.

The group took a walk on part of the Highlands Trail to get to the pond.

We met some new friends in the woods. I believe he goes by the name of Froggy-but I was told it’s Mr. Froggy to you.

When the group got to Dunker Pond there was a beaver lodge right smack ahead. Cool stuff! Too bad we weren’t invited in for snacks.

And though the snow may be gone for now, little feet still make an impression in the mud.
Another great hike led by the Pequannock River Coalition! Good stuff!
