This is the third weekend in a row that we hiked this beautiful state park. And why not? An examination of the map ensures me that I can get another two hikes out of
this area as well!
Today, following this map, and with the park very quiet after the bicycle race of last week, we hiked nearly every trail in the northern part of the park: the White, including the spur which crosses the powerline cut, and the many segments of the trail labeled "Bw" on the map. This trail contains white blazes on a black background. Total distance hiked today was 4 miles in just under 2.5 hours.
