New County Park

The county I live in (Ottawa) has been very smart about purchasing land and preserving it. It seems there are so many housing developments built and it's nice to see the County purchase land and keep it as parkland so everyone can enjoy it.
I've shown you a few farms recently where they did this. The first was the old county poor farm, and the other is the farm where I recently took pictures of Laura and Aaron.
Ottawa County recently purchased some property on the banks of the Grand River, which is just a few miles from my house. We checked it out last week and I can see there's going to be a lot of people enjoying it! A lot of people enjoy fishing here and they have added a boat and kayak launch.

The banks of the river near the bridge. They've made a path so you can go under the bridge, and there are walking trails on the other side.

Here's the view once you walk under the bridge.

The reflections were beautiful that evening.

This property has the river on one side and the bayou on the other. There are lots of wild flowers near the bayou.

I saw this leaf along the path we were walking. Can you see the heart shape?

Here's a view of the bayou.

And another view of the bayou.

Getting ready for a new sign.

The sun setting over the river.
I think I'll be back to walk those trails!
