Wowie Zowie! You know it’s just sooo easy to find a great place to go for a walk or bike ride in west Michigan. There are trails all over the place. I took this walking along the river near where the Forest Hills crew teams practice. The path is hard to find though so use this google map link, and look for a small green boathouse sign on the right and Don LeBlanc Row (the entrance road) on the left and follow the drive all the way to the end of the parking lot. The path is on the left and winds through beautiful woods, with the Thornapple River alongside it. What a way to get exercise! FYI if you’re one of those folks who don’t want to get their car dusty… the drive is a gravel road.

In addition to baseball diamonds, fishing, a playground, and a beautiful creek to play in, Warren Townsend Park has nature trails. This is a picture of the nature trail that is illustrated in this link. By the way, if you have dogs they are permitted on the trail as long as they are leashed.

There were magical teeny little bubbles floating on the water when I took this. By the way, there is a tremendous arts show here in the fall, the Fallasburg Fall Festival that is sponsored by the Lowell Area Arts Council. This year the show will be held on September 29 and 30. Here’s a google map link to the park.

It was a really gloomy overcast day and I was racking my brain to think of where I could get a nice photo and suddenly it came to me, Fallasburg Park in Lowell! (google map link here). And, Bingo! I was right! This place is serene and beautiful. Except for when I was pulling into the park, two gigantua wild turkeys blasted by me and gave me a dirty look. Too bad I didn’t get a record of that.

One more thing, I just want to thank everyone who keeps coming back to see my blog. And I want to thank all the places that have written nice things about my blog and linked to it. I’ll save that for another post, since I want to make sure I don’t leave anyone out and give links. I’m noticing that my visitors keep growing and growing and I appreciate all of you who enjoy making this part of your day. Thank you!
