Hello tweets: Since I reside in Thurston County, I am very familiar with
the Black River. It is a wonderful VERY slow meandering river with a
largely intact willow/alder/cottonwood riparian corridor. On sunny days
in April-June, the warblers, vireos & flycatchers sit on visible perches
and sing. The Spring Azures, Veined Whites, Swallowtail butterflies all
follow along the river highway. There are few houses, no visible roads
or cars. It's a wonderful place. There are several places to put in
your own canoes, but also a fellow who rents canoes and a put-in spot,
and comes to pick you up at designated pull-outs, all for a reasonable
fee. Highly recommended.
