Our recent visit to a Heritage Road in central Prince Edward Island took us past a watershed conservation area overseen by the Trout River Environmental Committee. The non-profit group wants to “restore the natural integrity” of that watershed.
The waterfall, like a veil over the face of the pond, made us stop.
In this area, boats appear to launch, people stop to fish,
and a ladder helps fish swim up river.
A lone cormorant swam on the far side, periodically diving and resurfacing meters from his original place.
Overhead, tree swallows flitted in the air; their antics made us stop and watch. One of two bird houses in the area was broken on one side and straw could be seen through the opening. The birds availed of these homes.
The sound of the water was calming as was the scene. We will visit again, maybe to fish and have a picnic with the kids.

What a beautiful little spot!
That waterfall is so pretty in its uniformity. And the birdhouse made me smile. So what's a little crack in the flooring? Thank you for making my morning better with your pictures. :-)
what a lovely spot! I could visit there often!
Those places are like medicine for the body and therapy for the soul.
A pretty area!
That area is just stunning. Nothing like my inner city world.
I'm very much in favour of restoring the natural integrity, this looks like a great success and worth many a visit. Happy weekend Marie ✨
The waterfall is lovely. I can just imagine the sound. Poor little bird house. Hope someone works on it soon.
Echoing the comment above me. And how I would love to see that fish ladder in use.
Does "restoring the natural habitat" mean removing the dam?
What a great set of photos it looks a really good place. Take care Diane
To fish and picnic with the kids would be so much what I would expect from you, Marie, as I've gotten to know you from these posts. I can picture it!
that waterfall is beautiful...the water climbing down the ladder/steps also!! i like seeing birdhouses in parks and areas like these!!!
A nice place to visit, to relax, to meditate...
: )
It is a little place but a piece of paradise Debra.
The waterfall sounds fill the air and you thoughts when you are there Jan.
We’ll be back again SW.
That they are Tabor.
And so quiet, except for the natural sounds William.
The sounds of the water are wonderful Mage.
It certainly was worth the effort PDP.
The birds appear to be using the house Barbara. I don’t know if they are checked often.
The ladder is used by different species at different time EC. We may be lucky enough to see some there another time.
I have searched for the answer Joanne. Every reference I find talks about the shoreline and stopping pesticide use, nothing about the dam.
It is a treasure Diane.
I’ll be there Ginnie.
You would love this place Debbie.
It is a great place to meditate Catarina.
I love the waterfall, and the fish ladder. I am grateful for groups such as this one who work so hard to maintain and/or restore natural habitat.
There are a number of environmental groups active on the island Jenny. They do a great job.
You are a unique observer and have a wonderful way of taking us on your tours.
Thank you AC.
I sure enjoy your posts!
