Laura S Walker State Park

 

As winter is making a heavy appearance in the Northeast, we are content being tucked away beneath beautiful Georgia pines at one of The Peach State's gorgeous state parks.

Laura S Walker State Park, near the Okefenokee Swamp's northern edge, offers over 600 acres to roam. Whether exploring the trails, sitting at the lake, or taking part in any of the activities available, we have found this to be yet another Georgia jewel. 

This is what we see directly across the highway each time we exit the park (daytime or lit up at night).  We are truly in the swamp.

It's time to set off to find where the nearest trail leads!

We walked just a bit through this beautiful area

before feasting our eyes on this boardwalk over the lake.

Let's stop for a little rest then a little play before heading back to the other side

to celebrate the find of the day in this super-duper pinecone!

Back at home, the Clam offers an outdoor living space for fun and games.

 

Another November afternoon brought this sunset at the lake and some sandy fun.

As we passed by the Fitness Zone, this little boy decided he must work out on the state-of-the-art equipment provided. We thought that was worthy of these shots before we read the very thorough rules including the statement that no one under the age of 14 is permitted😳

The lesson learned going forward is "If it's posted, it's probably worth reading!"😕

We hope you enjoyed hanging out with us at our new location😊

Next time, we'll share our day at Jacksonville Zoo.

See you later😁
