Itinerary description

Sadly, this tiny state park is NOT worth the $10 parking fee. However, as of this recording, free parking is still available on Shadowfax Ln.

This is not a park to “get in a good hike”. This recording touches on all the trails in this tiny park. There are several animal trails leading into the trees and wetlands, but signage requests people to stay on the established trails as it is a “fragile eco-system” area.

I found the Relocation Cemetery quite interesting and recommend you take some time to walk thru and read some of the headstones.
