Echo of Joy

Nerstrand Big Woods State Park

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

I finally made it to the beautiful Big Woods State Park near Nerstrand. Check out a few pictures from a hike around part of the park. I loved the variety of scenery...mostly woods, but with a stream and waterfall thrown in, and a few spots of meadow and open sky. Breathtaking all around.

Yes, there are campsites and it is a wonderful park. Several people from the Cities actually told me about it before I moved down there.
