I run the Prairie Spirit Rail Trail about 6 days a week year round. I start seeing snakes sometime in May. I see a lot of massasauga snakes,at least that’s what I think they are. They’re not very big for a rattlesnake but, running up on one stretched out like a stick always increases my heart rate. The small ones look like twigs. So this time of year every stick on the trail looks like a snake. I’ve seen a few copperheads over the last few years too. I much prefer seeing deer,rabbit,squirrels and turtles.
