Rock outcrops, dense woods and wetlands characterize the 13,000 acres of Wawayanda State Park. We saw numerous wildlife including a raccoon, turtles, fish in the lake, and lots of birds, finches, humingbird, and turkey vultures to name a few. We stayed in one of the three group camping areas which is in the Wawayanda Swamp Natural Area. There are more than 40 miles of hiking trails to choose from plus a 19.6 mile section of the Appalachian Trail which passes through the park.
A turtle was walking across the road. We made sure it got safely back into water.
We took a hike to Wing Dam...
...on the Wing Dam trail. The water looked good, it was hot out!
Someone stopped to talk to us about his horse.
