📸Photo of the Week!
Dreaming about the sunset over the new section of our park! On a recent visit for some trail planning, Jason Lominac snapped this photo of the sunset from our shoreline. This might be a new day use area some day, and we're dreaming of watching that beautiful sun going down over the water from the beach! Thanks for sharing with us, Jason!
Have a photo from the park you want to share with us? Send us a social media message with your photo and the photographer name, and you might see it next Friday!
