Moss Lake

Went on a short hike with the my Mother-in-Law, niece, and nephew in Rushford, NY.  Moss Lake is a small nature sanctuary with a trail that goes around the lake. 

Everyone where I work is always talking about going to Moss Lake and seeing all the bull head. Apparently if you feed the fish with bread they swarm it. 

So we went this morning because we had time to kill before going to the Rushford Labor Day Demolition Derby. I brought both of the older kids but they talked the whole time. In the past they only walked to the board walk and complained about doing the whole loop. I'm not sure of the distance of the whole loop but it was probably around a mile. 

When we first got there we didn't see any bull head. We walked the trail to the little bridge and found two slices of bread someone left. We tried a few pieces at the bridge but no luck attracting the fish. 

The trail was a nice trail. Sometimes it had blazes but most of the time it didn't, but it was a well traveled path.

For wildlife we saw some frogs, lots of chipmunks, and geese. The geese are most of our bread.

At the end of our hike, which was also the beginning, another family came with bread. We ended up seeing some bull head but nothing like pictures people have shown me. We also saw a snapping turtle, which we think is the reason why we didn't see many fish. Even the geese gave him a wide berth.

I'm going to end my entry with a panorama of Moss Lake:
