Northern water snake

Cool. I'm going to Algonquin in a few weeks. I'll keep a sharp eye for one of these but all we see up there is garter snakes usually. They hang around the campsite.

We were in Frontenac. We loved it.

You must have been very happy to see this then. Were you camping in Algonquin?

I'm from Newfoundland where there are no snakes. So I consider all snakes exotic. This is the first non garter or grass snake I have seen. There were lots of Northern water snakes near our campsite, although I suspect the large one was the same one several times (I didn't get pictures every time I saw it)

Great spotting tonya. I've never seen one of these.
