Historic Ditch Walk in Menard
Photographer: Michael Murphy

Historic Ditch Walk

The Menard Irrigation Canal is locally referred to as "The Ditch." First dug in 1756 by early Spanish padres for irrigation to the mission, it is still used today with modifications made during the years to supply water to members of the irrigation company. A walk along the canal passes by shopping and sightseeing opportunities. 325/396-2365.
