We took about a 2 mile hike along the Pee Dee River at Morrow Mountain State Park in NC. It was actually along now what is called Tillery Lake. It was nice for about the first mile than it was not well maintained. There were lots of fallen trees to clamber over, steep and crumbling path at the edge of the river and super hot, even before nine. We ended about 300 yards from the dam and watched scores of Osprey diving for food and some GBH as well. We were advised to watch for rattle snakes as they were "on the move" and with all the rocks and roots we were cautious as well as hot.
Nice start at the parking lot.
One of several skittish Great Blue Heron
Nice Osprey, about 150 feet was as close as one got
The dam, turn around point
