Now in its 38th year, St. Marys' annual Walk With Nature was begun by local attorney Eldon Montague and followed the Miami & Erie Canal from Memorial Park to the 40-Acre Pond. In 1997 the walk merged with the New Bremen/New Knoxville Rotary Club Canal Walk traveling the tow path several miles to the south. Above, Curt and Ruth Brookhart of New Bremen begin walking north.
