This trip on the "Wild and Scenic" Maurice River is a not-to-be-missed experience if you want to see Ospreys and Bald Eagles up close. Captain Bob does a great job of angling the boat for photographic opportunities. The oohs and ahs from the group at seeing an eagle feed its young or Ospreys fishing and interacting with the eagles were just part of this amazing journey. Seeing historic landmarks from times past and the largest stand of wild rice in the state added to the excitement of the day.
