Myrick and the Marsh

An oasis in the middle of La Crosse, Wisconsin lies Myrick Park and the magnificent marsh to it's north. This wilderness within the city is another unique landscape to try and capture. The paths were my stomping grounds as a college student and resident of Laux Hall. It was the perfect place to blow off the books for a nature hike. Happy to say the efforts so far to fill it in have been fought and the area is developing for recreational use.

 The nature center is a more recent addition to the park, a welcome site that is focusing on the needs of our environment.

Nice walks along the trails still compete with other needs. This natural sponge absorbs excess water and gives back to the local wildlife.

There was a time when zoo's were the place to see wildlife. Glad we figured out all you have to do is hike into the marsh to view all sorts of interesting and entertaining creatures.
