Buckeye Lake State Park is just massive. The Park has several different areas that you have to drive to but they are between different towns and I kept turning the wrong way. Therefore, it was just frustrating for me as I keep missing the turn. But the Buckeye Lake State Park is a fisherman’s and boaters paradise. The lake has […]
Logan Lake is just so pretty with lots of different place to explore. I got there very early in the day and watched as the fog was rising off the lake and listened to the little frogs and other sounds. It was enjoyable to the ears and the eyes. The lake is not very big but it has lots of […]
Salt Fork State Park has both a dark side and a light side to it. On the dark side, deaths and a grave yard. On the lighter side, breathtaking beauty. The Hosak’s Cave Trail has taken several life over the years. Aubrey E Parsons lost her life at age 14 when she fell during a hike in 2003. The grave […]
I arrived at the park on a wonderful warm day. The water was clear and since the children were back in school, it was pretty empty which allowed me to social distance without any problems. It was a wonderful place to have my afternoon meal while watching the water and the birds. After a nice little meal, I took a […]
As I drove up to the Canoe Creek State Park, I found this family of deer just relaxing and eating their dinner. They did not even care that both myself and another truck has stop and watch them. It was a great to watch them for a bit. But after a bit, it was time to move to the rest […]
The Colonel Denning State Park was one of my favorite State Parks. Except I went on the day that it was was 88 degrees at 8 am and climbing with a humid that was off the charts. So, the hike that I wanted to go on was out of reach because I know my limits. But if you are head […]
Memorial Lake State Park is right next to Fort Indiantown GAP National Guard Training Center and Indiantown GAP National Cemetary. Eastabilished in 1931, the Fort Indiantown Training Center was used to train soldiers for World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf Wars. The Memorial Lake State Park was established in 1945 to remember those Pennsylvania National Guard soldiers […]
Shikellamy State Park has two different parts to it. The best of both worlds river and mountain views. The bottom part has access to the river, boat rentals, and a hike next to the shoreline. The top part has an overlook with outstanding views of Shikellany State Park below and the Susquehanna River. For me, it was the squirrels at […]
During a one week trip that I took in late August, I visited this little park. It was one of the few places that I allowed myself to break my social distancing contact rules. I actually scratched a pug mixes bottom but was careful to keep from breathing on him and having him breath on me. He was so cute. […]
Prince Gallitzin State Park is not my favorite park but I don’t think that it is the park fault. I went on Sept 1st but the trees were already turning color which made me feel that summer would soon be over. It was a sad day for me to realize that I needed to put out my coats and actually […]
