Camping Near the Ohio River

Camping Near the Ohio River

Camping Near the Ohio River, the leaves have not changed color here yet as we stopped to camp for a few days. Early morning campfires are going as the smoke is highlighted by the sun rays through the trees.

You can see the bridge off in the distance where you can travel across it and enter Kentucky, yes the Ohio river between Illinois and Kentucky.

We have camped here a couple of times. I took this photo below a couple of years ago from the same park. Sunrise at the Ohio river.

A few photos of the critters around the park are always fun to take. I am guessing this is a ground hog and I don’t think he is seeing his shadow this fall yet. That might be good news.

And these guys are just basking in the morning light. Turtles are always fun to watch.

  1. Very pretty sunrise and sun’s early rays at the campsite. Yes, that groundhog looks the one I ran into at Elizabeth Park. Roly poly and begging for treats (as bad as the squirrels!)

    1. Hi Sara, yes it is Fort Massac State park, right on the Kentucky border. Great little campground. Miles of bike trails as well.

    1. Yes, lots of turtles all along the edge of the river, there were dozens of them here, you could see them floating along and then dive back in the water.

  2. Awwww… your landscapes are always amazing, but when you post pictures with animals I’m most delighted. 🙂

  3. Lovely photos there and nice to see a photo of a ground hog, as I have never seen one before.

    I bet the turtles are interesting to watch. I would love to see that in their own environment.
