点评:I'm not sure why I didn't have high hopes when going to this park today, but it was a very good experience.
The lady at the entrance station was super helpful and my wife and I drove down to see the old home that is being worked on currently, which was nice. We walked down to the platform overlooking a couple of nice creeks, with the York River in the background. It was a nice, cool, clear morning, so the view was great!
We hiked the Loblolly trail, which was was very peaceful. That would be our plan if we go back on a hot day. The trail that is paved and loops around the park will be great on a future visit, but there's not a lot of shade, so maybe we'll tackle that one in the fall or winter.
We didn't really have any bugs to contend with, which surprised us given the proximity to marshy areas.
At the end of our easy hike, we used the restroom at the parking lot. That tidbit of information would never be included in one of our posts, but it was one of the cleanest bathrooms we've experienced in a State Park. It's a newish bathroom, but kudos to the staff for paying such close attention to cleanliness. Much appreciated!
It's a simple, country setting, but has been laid out and managed well!
We'll be back for sure!

入口处的女士非常热情,我和妻子开车去看了看正在修缮的老房子,感觉很棒。我们走到平台,俯瞰着几条美丽的小溪,背景是约克河。那是一个凉爽晴朗的早晨,景色真是太棒了!
我们徒步走了火炬松小径,那里非常宁静。如果我们在炎热的天气再去的话,我们计划走这条小径。那条环绕公园的铺砌小径下次来会很棒,但是那里阴凉处不多,所以我们可能会在秋天或冬天再去。
我们并没有遇到什么虫子,考虑到这里靠近沼泽地,这让我们很惊讶。
在我们轻松的徒步结束后,我们在停车场上了厕所。这条信息我们本来不会写在帖子里,但这是我们在州立公园体验过的最干净的卫生间之一。卫生间比较新,但工作人员对清洁的关注还是值得称赞的。非常感谢!
虽然环境简朴,乡村风,但布局和管理得都很好!
我们一定会再来的!
