Andrew Jackson State Park

After church last Sunday, we turned right on the 521 instead of going left and headed to Andrew Jackson State Park. We heard about it but hadn't been there yet, and thought it would be a nice place to go on Memorial weekend. We quickly changed in the car into our shorts and tennies and were ready to see a crowded park of families. We were surprised to see that it was nearly empty aside from a few folks enjoying the tranquility of the lake.

This couple was enjoying a romantic day of reading in the park... not to each other, but each was engrossed in their own book. And, the gentleman had his guitar at the ready to serenade his love, most likely.

This little nature trail goes around the whole lake ~ 1 mile.

A gaggle of geese! We had never seen Canadian geese so close. These guys ( A mom, dad and their kids) really liked to follow us and eat the grass at our feet. They never looked at us as if they were expecting food, and they were eating as voraciously as if the grass was running away from them. They just seemed to like company while they were eating- the more the merrier!

This is a great park complete with camping. The campground was full, but it was small and so there was still a very peaceful quality to this place. We loved it!
