pics of the Clinton River Trail in Pontiac











I went out Sunday June 18th and the river along the trail was low, there was hardly any current, sand bars were showing and the banks were exposed. I went out the following Tuesday after 2 inches of rain had fallen. See comparisons between the two days below. The water level on Tuesday was a foot or two higher than on Sunday. the other picture is from Sunday; you can see the high water marks on the tree in the flood plain. The picture of the spillway is Tuesday evening when it was gushing. On Sunday it was barely a trickle and the pond

was very low.
The mother wood duck and her brood (upper right) seemed to enjoy the higher water.
