Hey fellow travelers! 👋 Just stumbled across this gem called Black Hill Regional Park and I’m seriously intrigued. Has anyone here ever kayaked on Little Seneca Lake? I’m a sucker for a good paddle, and the idea of gliding across 505 acres of water surrounded by nature sounds like heaven! Plus, with over 16 miles of trails, I’m thinking this could be the perfect spot for a weekend adventure. Anyone have any insider tips on the best time to visit or must-see spots in the park? I’m particularly curious about how crowded it gets during peak season. Oh, and dog owners – how’s that dog run? My furry friend would love to tag along! Share your experiences, I’m all ears! 🌳🚣♀️🐕
