Rock Cut State Park 12-31-10

Me and Wilma went out for our last hike this year. It was a dreary and foggy day, but almost 50 degrees, so pretty nice hiking weather.

We went west from the dam along the Willow Creek Bike path and then headed north on a horse trail that parallels the Perryville bike path up to Hart Road. Then east to the main park road and south on the road back to where we parked.

An hour and 50 minutes. Maybe a little over 3 miles. Most of the hike was on pavement so went pretty easy, but the horse trail segment was muddy, wet, snowy, icy, and mucky in a lot of places, so was kind of slow going.

We barely made it back before they close the park and let loose the vampire deer that roam the park at night.

I emailed the park and asked if the horse trails crossing Hart Road are open to hiking. I got a response back that the trails south of Hart Road are Ok for hiking. They also confirmed that the honey sold as Rock Cut Honey does indeed come from the beehives I saw just off Hart Road.
