A beautiful park, with several water features, splash and spray for children, guided canoe trails, tubing and a leafy shaded walking trail by the Saluda River, 2.5 miles in one direction (about 5 miles round trip). You may not even need your sunglasses or sun screen, it is so canopied with leaves. There are benches at intervals to sit and watch the dappled green and yellow water. Even Renoir would have liked to paint it. Today there is the sound of the cicadas playing their violins. They have not yet come to the upstate where I live. I have heard that some people say the temperature can be gaged by the loudness of the cicadas. The more loudly they sound, the higher the temperature. The weatherman says that this weekend, the temperature is to be 109 degrees.
Shane is having his third birthday party here at the park on Saturday. (His actual birthday is July 3.)
