Finally I followed the path back around to where it started (in full sun the whole way) and ended my day, pretty tired and definitely hot, but with a couple of cool pictures to take home. All in all, not a bad day.
I then hiked up the side of the mountain, a bit strenuous (especially after my legs were dead from the day before) but not horrible and led to a nice field with a good overview of the area.
After hiking up House Mountain the day before, I was looking forward to another nice hike in a wooded area. This place is not that but it was still a nice hike and had some good photo opportunities. I didn't see many exciting birds, but I was there in the middle of mid day heat and they were probably hiding out.
After turning around, I went through another little canopy area and ran across a couple of deer. Not sure who scared who more but I got a cool picture after they ran about 30' away and then turned to watch me.
I really enjoyed a morning hike along one of the trails here. I plan a return visit! The trails were well maintained with lots to see!
Beautiful place, recently finished. The walks here are great, the ecology education one can receive here is top notch. Seven Islands also employs a lot of local graduates, which is nice to see as well.
It is just fields and a few hills with very few trees. It is mostly in the sun and they are doing construction right now. My family and I were almost hit by a state truck that was driving down the road that is supposed to be a path. I would never recommend this park to anyone.
After parking at the front, I hiked down the main paved road and found the entrance to the loop path. I followed a nicely mowed and about 6' wide path along a field. There wasn't much cover so the sun is HOT and there seemed to be a number of horse flies to keep me on my toes, but I still got a couple of cool insect shots. I then headed down a little canopy area next to the river, almost swamp like. It was cool but would have been nice to know that it deadended.
Have been there a couple of times. Love it. Beautiful place. I only hope they have real restrooms.
