We spent the weekend hiking through Red River Gorge and camping beneath the sandstone arches.

During the village's evening walk, we spotted a red river hog foraging along the riverbank.

As the sun set, the Old Man River seemed to hum the old songs of steamboats and cotton fields.

At dawn, the conservation team scanned the Yangtze River, hopeful they might spot a Chinese river dolphin.

Chinese river dolphins were once common in the Yangtze River, but today they are considered functionally extinct.

Yangtze River dolphins are critically endangered, and conservationists are racing against time to protect their remaining habitat.

Scientists reviewed old footage of the Yangtze River dolphin to learn what drove the species to extinction.

We spent the afternoon canoeing along the St. Joseph River, marveling at the herons and the old mill ruins.

Last summer, I spent a week fishing near North West River and exploring the coastal trails.

Along the winding creek, the river red gums loomed like guardians of the water.
