Mom and I took a stroll at Two Rivers Park in Faribault in between my two trials last Sunday. It was pretty warm out, in the seventies but the trails had some shade and the wind off the river and the trees provided shade. The park is where the Cannon and Straight Rivers converge.
To get to the walking path we took the old railroad bridge they made into a walking bridge. There are tons of dead trees in the river maybe from storms or flooding, we are not sure.
We didn’t walk too far as it was warm and I still had a trial to do in the afternoon. Some parts of where we went were in the woods. Mom didn’t find any wood ticks on me but it is now that time of year. I have my tick protection on just in case.
Here’s another view of a part of the river. The dandelions are really in bloom now!
On the other side of the main road is the Woolen Mill. They have a dam with a waterfall. Usually when we are in Faribault for trials there is little or no water going over the small dam. This time there was quite a bit of water.
Mom took me up close so I could see the waterfall. It is nothing like when we saw Niagara Falls but it is fun to see.
The Two Rivers Park area really is a beautiful place and it is nice we can walk there when we are in Faribault for our trials. Hope you get out and enjoy some spring in your area!
We are joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard is for their Nature Friday blog hop.
That looks like a lovely place to walk and relax.
It’s one thing Mom likes about trialing there is that we can walk along the river and forget all the trial stuff for a short time.
What a beautiful park and the waterfall is so pretty and looks so refreshing, Olivia!
I’m not a water dog so I am not into water, but it is pretty and the air is cooler around the mini falls.
its is a wonderful place… it looked quiet and peaceful to us… it needs two weimaraners huh? hahahahahah
There were two weims at the trial that day. Someone took them each for a one mile run before the trial started to get them to calm down. I think all of your breed is a bit on the wild side.
Looks very peaceful. A great break from the trails.
Sometimes it is best to get away and start fresh but it didn’t work out this time. Still we had a nice little walk.
I love looking at your tours, and reading your comments…thanks
Thank you. We love finding new places to walk and things to discover.
What fun! Is the Wollen Mill still in operation???
It was going out of business a while back but it was bought up and is now running again.
That’s a pretty area and I like looking at waterfalls too. Niagara always wins the falls award though. .
This was not even a small piece of Niagara Falls but it still is a fun little falls. I’ve been to Little Falls in northern MN too but not as impressive as Niagara.
What a fine day for a stroll on 2 rivers trail. I love the names Cannon and Straight Rivers.
Happy Weekend to you 3 and Mom

Straight river is super creatively named, LOL. Probably an Indian name they translated since everything in MN was started by Indians.
What a beautiful day for a walk along the river or 2!

It was super nice for our little walk.
Lovely place to relax before your trial!
We already had some spring, and we are now fully into summer 🙁
We are going into summer overdrive this weekend. Nelson has trials so we will be out in the heat every day. At least he and I don’t quit working when it gets hot out like some family members do.
Wow! What a lovely park to walk and divine waterfall ~ sweet photos of you dear doggie ~ hugs,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Thank you. It’s a smaller town with a lot of things to see.
It looks like a great place to relax between trials.
It is ideal for getting out of trial mode for a short time.
Looks like a good place to visit (even if it was a tad warm) while waiting for your next event. Glad you were able to take a break. Happy Fri-yay!
It sometimes helps one clear their mind of all the stuff going on so we can start fresh.
