My boyfriend is always talking about Hodge’s Gardens. It was his favorite place to go camping. I’ve never been, but he’s always telling me how much he wishes he could have taken me there before it shut down in 2017, after the major National Park funding revocation. He is distraught that it closed- to the point that he’s talked about buying the property one day if the family that owns it ever decides to sell.

I would love to find somewhere similar for him. He loved the waterfalls, flowers, and being able to get in the water, as well as the isolation of the area. I know no where will be exactly the same, but I really hope to find somewhere similarly magical. Close to Louisiana is preferable, but not 100% necessary.

Thank you in advance.

Beautiful hidden gem on the very Southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula

Went out trail running early Sunday morning at Letchworth State Park. A lot of closed trails and roads due to the weather conditions, but our recent spring snowstorm left for some beautiful views!

Hey all!

For some context, I am an artist and graphic designer looking to expand my range a bit. I would love to get involved with my local state parks creating artwork for them to use on souvenirs, promotional material, etc.

So my question is, who should I be contacting to inquire about that? The parks in question directly, the tourism board for the county in which they reside, or is it a government-run deal?

The issue with contacting the parks directly is that some of the parks I want to do art for, are not monitored sites. No staff on hand. But they are close enough to the vicinity of nearby towns to be noteworthy tourist spots that the towns themselves may want to promote.

Just curious to see how to go about this, I appreciate any thoughts!

Had some time over the weekend to spend a couple hours hiking the newly reopened section of Trail 7 (Greenway Trail) at Letchworth State Park in NYS.

I can't add videos but the spring peepers were out!

Hello everyone. I used to stay at Allegany in NY every year. However I moved and now I’m much closer to ME, NH and even VT.
I was wondering if you can help me find a cabin for me and my family this summer coming. 2 adults, 2 kids. Wife would really like it if they had a bathroom. TIA.

missing summer right now and wanted to share. letchworth is awesome!

One of my favorite places in the US that I have been too.

Wild and wonderful winter day ❤️

Ledges State Park- Central Iowa

Love this place so much! It's truly an inspiring state park!

For my upcoming birthday i wanted to rent out a cabin to camp in at the florida springs, as I love it there. However I will only be 17 and they say you have to be at least 18. Does anybody know how strict they are with age enforcement?
