And "... is designated both an American Heritage River and a Canadian Heritage River—the only river to have this dual designation."

Sounds like a beautiful, yet possibly crowded area. Do you like living there?

I'm not directly on the water, I'm about a mile or so away. The recent wind storm pushed lake Erie water a half mile away from shore. That was interesting. People walking out found an old car and a snowmobile that had fallen through the ice.
There are a lot of parks along the river. Some islands.

Your photos set off John Denver in my mind, "I've seen it rainin' fir in the sky". Thank you, George McGovern.

John Denver, was, IS, a treasure — such wonderful music he left us. It's an honor to bring him to mind. Thank You So Much.
