We stopped by the day before memorial day to see if we could catch a nice sunset and some fish at the mill dam/bridge in Centerport. The bridge really is a special location that makes a great walk. The restaurants situated on the south side of the dam, The Mill Pond House and the Thatched Cottage are perfectly located for gorgeous views on a daily basis.

I’ll be in and out each day this weekend taking photos as part of an arrangement I have with the chamber.  Stay tuned for more photo and possible video...
