Thanks for sharing, I might just take the girl and the pup for a walk tomorrow!
As a heads-up for those near Tuckahoe, they often ask for donations of Christmas trees after the holiday for the aviary.

We used to go there and dip herring right across form the spillway. Small smokey fires and saplings tied together in a tripod with a long pole levered off the top of it with a big square cotton net rigged to the pole that would need hoisted every so often. With minnows you could knock the hell out of yellow perch too at the right time.
The fish ladder used to be made of fiberglass and I can still see the broken panels and ice formed on the sides of the ladder to where it needed repair.
One could also catch giant pickerel in some of the deeper holes of the pond if you knew how the right method.
Back in there on the far side of the pond we would take an aluminum skiff up in there and catch the hell out of large-mouth, crappie during the cooler months.
I know where the most awesome bottle dump is there that a person could find old cork type medicine bottles and glassware clay pipes and what not.
Good deer and turkey hunting as well. One of the first local turkey flocks a person could actively hunt with success was established right there in the park as far as I know.
Years ago I when I worked in the city a guy I knew from work I would take fishing there. He was from Carroll county and just absolutely would nag the hell out of me to take him fishing because it was so bountiful.
Old Ed, lots of good memories from there and beautiful grounds and park that has been further developed for the public.
Years ago, when I was only 18 or 19, I deer hunted a woods near tuckahoe. I’ll never forget seeing a turkey while deer hunting, telling the land owner about it and he and his friend laughed and said “you’re smoking dope boy!” At the time neither of us had heard about the state releasing turkeys at the park.

Secrets out now for sure.
Progress they call it. Lots of people know all about the woods and the intricacies therein with the same these days.
I'd probably have to go stuff myself or have a full blown Fudd-hick heart attack when some KI or western shore part time wanna be brush popper crossed my line with a kayak after sculling across all those broke logs while enjoying some fish catching and personal solitude LOL.
But really, that resource is something that all should see and enjoy if they ever get the chance. Just by reading here the developments sound incredible and there is an outdoor opportunity that should not be missed by anyone if they can make the trip. Especially if they can involve young people for the experience.
So now I know where my turkeys are going, the state nets them over by the swamp behind my house and takes them to the eastern shore, I wish they would trap some bears and move them down there.
Lot of fond memories of deer hunting there. Don’t know when they stocked turkey, but know they’ve been there since early 90’s.
