Day 79 - 63° - Cloudy, Rain Showers - Spring Meadows ParkDay 78 - 73° - Sunny - Gifford Pinchot State Park
Sunday was another beautiful day, so we drove over to Pinchot State Park which is about a 20 minute ride from the Red Cardinal B&B. The park is over 2300 acres and has accommodations for all types of year-round recreation: fishing (ice-fishing), boating (iceboating), camping, horseback riding, swimming (ice skating), hiking and picnicking.
Billy had new line put on his reel, so he went to take a few casts and test the fishing rod before the 2012 season gets into full swing. The 340-acre Pinchot Lake has largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, muskellunge, catfish, carp, walleye, crappie and sunfish. Pinchot Lake is designated a big bass lake.
While he was fishing, I took a short walk on the Lakeside Trail that runs along Pinchot Lake. There are over 20 miles of hiking trails in the park. I covered about a mile.
Spring fever abounds and there were fishermen on the shore as well as in their boats.
