This spot is in Colchester Vermont and is very different from my last spot, the Ethan Allen Homestead. This natural area is very thick, if it weren&#8217;t for the deer trails running through much of it, if you decided to walk straight in you would not be making it very far. Unlike the Homestead, here there is way more lower canopy trees\/bushes and very few upper canopy trees. This makes for very good deer woods, by this I mean they like the very thick bushes like in the picture below. I know that there are tons of wildlife here because I have traveled this trail my whole life and seen plenty of deer, snapping turtles and ducks in the natural area. Usually there is a lot more water on the sides of the path, this will hold ducks and other wildlife but since the water is fairly low right now, it is almost completely all dried up. Also here I didn&#8217;t see many oak trees which is very different than the Homestead where they are almost taking over. Both of these places are very similar in the way that they both have a very big water source next to them, for the Homestead its the Winooski River and for this natural area its Lake Champlain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"664\" height=\"503\"
