As the sun slowly rises, the hues of pink and gold are scattered across the calm waters of the Pecatonica. A red-tailed hawk soars across the sky and then dives into the fields beyond the river,while a great blue heron flies calmly across the river in search of another inlet for fishing. Your canoe glides swiftly through the water, the banks on either side populated with trees and grasses. A chorus of frogs serenades you as you find yourself in Stephenson County.
