Stacy Carpenter turned this log into a natural bench.
There are many trees felled by beavers along the Hochmuth Island trail.
There is a "Swamp Monster" out there on the Swamp Walk.
The Danvers Swamp Walk is believed to be longer than its companion at the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, according to someone who helped build both of them. Maybe that is because the Swamp Walk turns with added length coming from going around natural features in the swamp.
The "deckmasters" - Dave Saunders and Mark Wagner - complete the Swamp Walk.

The Danvers Swamp Walk has been completed and the "Friends of Swampwalk" will host an inauguration ceremony in the spring. The group also plans to continue having ad-hoc fun by adding new features, interpretive signs, tables and benches.

The walk is a loop through the swamp off the Danvers rail Trail, south of the Route 97 crossing.

Take a look at some photos from the final work.
