Exploring our Metroparks: Cannonball Prairie and Blue Creek Metropark


Exploring another metropark - Cannonball Prairie.  This is a very new park so it hasn't been developed well yet.  But we did the two trails there anyway.




Young ducklings with Dad and Mom.



 Pretty wildflowers.



Campsites in this park.


 A deer that we saw.



We stopped in Whitehouse at General's Ice Cream for a treat.



Then we did Blue Creek Metropark.  It also didn't seem like much but maybe they are still developing this too.



Max enjoyed the water anyway.

Checking out Swan Creek with Summer and Max.
We did the Flood Plain Trail.


Hence the name of the park - Swan Creek. :)
We did the Swan Creek Trail.




We did the Big Woods Trail and Loop.


We did the Meadow Trail.


We did the North Trail and Loop.
4.84 miles altogether.



Max LOVES any time he gets into the water!



Tracks by the creek.



The swinging bridge.



We also went to Brookwood Metropark.  It only has a building to rent out for events but I still wanted to say I have checked it out and been there. :)
