Walk the Mudflats Boardwalk

With the nice weather it looks like we are going to have it, it is the perfect time to get outside! I suggested heading to Galena and exploring the 1,500 foot boardwalk with gorgeous views of the Mudflats. Its so much fun to search for dozens of shorebird species and enjoy the peaceful water or even cast a line. 

You can see more pictures from our last visit here. Plus, see what else is around (lunch, coffee, etc)

Address: 37 S Old 3C Hwy, Galena, OH 43021

I hope you have the best week. Enjoy the sunshine!
