A. W. Marion State Park is a Fisherman’s Dream State Park with 145 acre Hargus Lake. The park is a beautiful place to fish, take a hike, and relax for the day. The Park even offers an area for dogs to swim off leash. They have no beach areas for swimming but boaters can swim off their boat in some […]
I love Painted Creek State Park. It is just so beautiful and it has two different Dams that I was able to see. I stayed the night because it was getting to dark to take photos. It really was lovely. The largest Dam has two places to park and walk to it. I just did the parking are closest to […]
Spending a weekend at Kingdom Come State Park is full of fun, relaxation, breathtaking views, heart stopping uphill and downhill drives, family fun, hiking, and/or an escape from the real world. Being on top of the world and look down on the valley. I loved watching the fog between the valley each day. As it burns off, it revels the […]
Carter Cave State Resort Park has been one of my best experiences of 2020. Even just driving in, the park is so wonderful with a little creek running next to road with places to park and have a picnic or take a hike. But your first stop needs to be at the Welcome Center. The Welcome Center has maps for […]
The Middle Creek National Battlefield looks like a simple field which is exactly what it is. In 1862, this field held a battle which ended the Confederates strategic advantage in Kentucky and created a stepping stone for Garfield to become President. The field is still used as farmland to grow hay but it has a path to follow around is […]
Christmas Rock Nature Preserve is a wonderful little place to take a hike but finding the trailhead is a bit more interesting then most. The drive to the trail is on city streets but they are a bit rough and narrow in places. The parking area is down the hill and about the first 1/4 mile is actually walking up […]
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 […]
Driving along going from Pittsburgh to the Badlands, I saw a sign that said Blue Earth. I wanted to stop but I was in a hurry to get to the Badlands before the winter descend on the land. But an other sign got me to stop. The golden dedication for I-90 at the Blue Earth Rest Area. I stopped and […]
The Big Spring State Park has been used as a rest area since the early 1900’s. It was developed in 1936. As I walked around the park, all I could think was that this would be the perfect place to have a Wedding during the Covid19 time frame. It has this great big shelter which using every other table could […]
