| no partners | | | I arrived at the campground pretty late, and didn't get to see much, except the main pond right outside my tailgate. So the next morning, I went exploring. The Ponds were originally gravel pits that at some point were filled with water and stocked with trout. Started out with Fishermen's Trails around the 3 ponds and following the river downstream to the NE. Apparently, there is an actual Trail whose TH is NE of the Campground. Some sites call it the Maverick Trail, others call it the Maverick Canyon Trail. The State Park doesn't acknowledge it at all. I saw one map of it and it appears to follow a tributary into Maverick Canyon. Next time. I didn't go enough that direction to intercept it. Instead I turned around and followed the River upstream. There was always a path at least, and sometimes, it could have been more of a maintained trail. I think if I had followed it a bit further than I did, I might have hit the highway. My turn around point was where they divert some of the river into a separate channel to fill the ponds, but from there, I could hear traffic pretty close by. Didn't remember RS for this one, so mileage is an estimate. Nice Campground, I think probably the nicest of the group in this State Park. After the wander, it was time for more Hiking further up canyon. |
