Booker T. Washington SP

5.11.11 Nance Jo, Bob, Earl  This was another beautiful hike.  The weather was quite warm and humid, but if you had water it was fine.  This SP is not large, but the trail meanders all through the park giving you a good hike.  Since it is also a bicycle trail, there are many small side trails that make it easy to get off the main trail.  However, if you stay on the well used portion, you shouldn't get too lost.  We saw low flying airplanes, a couple of bicyclists, fisherman, frogs, flowers, turtles, ducks and a snake.  There were lots of trees down, and we ran into a man with a broken chainsaw that we helped to make a temporary fix.  He was trying to clear the few remaining spots on the trail covered with trees.  Our distance for the day was 6.8 miles and I would rate this trail as easy.  For a few pictures, click on the Booker T. tab or click here.
