Video: A Spring Hike At Landons Bay In The Thousand Islands National Park

A spring hike at Landons Bay in the Thousand Islands National Park with the Wandering Shepherds. We say goodbye to Ewetopia Farms for a few hours to take a sheep farming break and head out to enjoy the beauty of nature at a local hiking trail near our sheep farm. Spring has finally started with wild flowers poking their heads out along the trails. Also, lots of migrating swans, elusive snakes, and a curious chipmunk make today's wander special.
