The Millennium Trail Photos
Singing Hills to Volo

The photo above is the water pump at the Singing Hills Forest Preserve parking area off of the Millennium Trail. If you rode your horse here, there's a place to tie em up and water em! :-)

Yes, there are horses on this path ~ as you can see from the footprint above. Actually, I'm not joking about this one.

and there are plenty of deer around too (I barely got this shot but I missed the really small baby deer that was with this one)...

...as you can see by this footprint (I am pretty sure that this is a deer footprint). The loose crushed stone on this part of the path records a lot of information about the wildlife in the area.

One really nice thing about this part of the trail (just past the Singing Hills parking area) is that it is paved! After riding so many miles on crushed stone (some loose and some very bumpy) the paved section feels really nice.

This scene is from just past the Volo City Hall along Fish Lake Road. Once again, this is from my new DSLR camera and I was going for the effect that you get from the lines of the fence and the shadow from the fence in addition to documenting this part of the trail.

It looks like the trail ends at Route 120 but there is a small extension just past 120. It's only about 1/2 mile so it is not really worth crossing the busy road for, For now, the Millennium Trail ends here with no signs or celebration. Maybe it will be extended in the near future.

This is as I was heading back on the small 1/2 mile extent ion just past Route 120.

And here's the end of the trail on the other side of Route 120. It sure would be nice to have an underpass or overpass here and have the trail extended. For now it is nice that we have these trails and that they are still maintained pretty well.
