Strouds Run State Park is a great place to see the wild life up front and personal. As I drove in, I saw deer and I think a turkey but it was some kind of big bird. As you arrive, the Blackhaw Accessible Trail is a nice little trail to check out the wild life. I could hear frogs and […]
I was here back in September. Something about this place brought me complete peace. It was an overwhelming feeling of wellness. I took a walk across the dam.

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.
