I am always on the look out for new trails or parks to explore. I've done most of the ones around here. So when I'm at baseball or having adventures, I am on the lookout for a new park or trail or even a random path to explore. I got lucky when I found out our friends lived within walking distance of a county park.
Since it was a beautiful day and I had some time to kill, I decided to go check out the county park. The hubby even came with me.
Lowes Creek is part of the Eau Claire County Park System. If you actually park, like a state park, you need to pay an entrance fee. It is $6/day or $35/year and gains you access to all the county parks.
Because of spring thaw many of the more challenging trails were closed due to muddy conditions. This made me sad as I'm always up for a good hike. The hubby was probably secretly glad as he is not a hiker and prefers much easier terrain.
Since our options were limited we walk the snowshoe/cross county ski trail. It is a giant grassy loop that is fairly flat. To me it was pretty boring probably because of everything still being brown from winter. Hopefully we can explore when it's lush and green and fully of critters.
I am glad Eau Claire County Park System has well maintained parks. I may have to explore other parks (and pay the $6 fee) on future visits.. or at least explore some of the other trails at Lowes Creek.
I wonder what other trails and parks I will explore this year. Stay tuned to find out if I stumble across any other ones.
