Dedmon's Branch
Dedmon's Branch
Dedmon's Branch flows through the property from north to
south, separating the Wetlands from the Homestead. Fed by
springs, including the ones in the Wetlands, Dedmon's Branch
includes an area that used to be a swimming hole for the local
kids for several generations. The construction of a private dam
upstream destroyed the swimming hole, but it's still the best
place for little waterfalls and big exploration. Also a popular
place for blue herons and small raptors.
Dedmon's Branch is lined with dogwoods, holly, and several
different ferns.
Plans for Dedmon's Branch include
-planting native vines and ferns along the banks to help with
erosion
-construction of a gazebo where the screen tent is now sitting for
a permanent retreat in Mom's Favorite Spot.
