Rock Cut State Park 2-12-12 Willow Creek and South Hart Road Horse Trails

/

Pretty nice out today. About 32F. A little windy. Wilma and I set out from the dam parking lot. We went west along Willow Creek and headed north near the western edge of the park on some horse trails. Then up to Hart Road, across South Hart Road Grasslands, and back to Willow Creek and the dam.

Pretty easy walking except for where there was ice and snow on some of the horse trails. Only saw three other people out on the trails and two of them were on Hart Road, the other on the Willow Creek Path. No one else was out hiking that I saw. Too bad. It was a good day for it.

Base Camp called it 3.5 miles. It took us a little under 2 hours. Not a real fast hike but the ice was treacherous in places on the horse trails, so caution was in order, and I don't walk all that fast anyway.

Nice view of South Hart Road Grassland. Not much snow left other than on the horse trails inside the woods. Plenty of snow and ice on them. Not real deep, but slippery in places.
