--- Bike path continues through Delta Park Wildlife Refuge.

Next the bikeway goes through a protected Wildlife Refuge where we spotted three families of ducks with their young enjoying a pond. Then, the bikeway goes through an older neighborhood from the 1950s--not so old to some. It had the detached garages, clothes lines out in the back, and beginning to have a more bungalow look. Plants and bushes are overgrown and yards and homes have that real lived-in look of generations gone by.

The Colchester section is next. Here there is a place for snacks and rest rooms in a nearby park. From there the path descends into a bog preserve. This is the only so called hill on the pathway. The bog is like being in a completely different place. No people, houses, roads, or businesses. It is cool and damp and quiet. Are there really strange creatures out there in the silence?
