Take a Stroll Around the Pond: Two Spring Walks

Apr 12, 2013

This spring, get out and see the landscape coming back to life after winter’s long slumber. Middleton’s trails offer a number of scenic walks. Here are two short walks you might want to try this spring.

Tiedman Pond – This beautiful pond is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. A trail runs around the entire pond. Ducks, herons and other birds are a common sight in this urban oasis. Woodside Heights Park is a good place to start this walk.

Stricker Pond – Just a few blocks away from Tiedman Pond, you’ll find Stricker Pond. A trail runs around most of the pond, including a short section of boardwalk on the southern end of the pond.

Get outside and see the reawakening of nature – take a walk this spring!
