## About

A naturalist-led hike of about three miles from CanalWay Center to an active bald eagle nest in the Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation, watching for birds, beavers and other wildlife along the way. The route is paved with some hills, and icy patches are possible later in the season. Best for older children who can walk three miles; bring binoculars if you have them.
