Hiking the Nature Trails in Beavers Bend State Park

We were going to take the South Park Trail near our campground to the Beaver Creek Trail but…
We didn’t bring waders… This one was not a nature trail but most of the others we went on were.
I took three kids on this next short hike.It was listed as a nature trail. It was right across from the Nature Center.

I never did get to see inside the Center, they kept odd hours and were only open once the whole time we were there.Another beautiful hike.

I only took three kids with me for this hike also. This time we found a good spot to cross and continue on the trail. So pretty.

We all went on the Cedar Bluff Nature Trail together.

It ended up being pretty uphill but the view at the top was beautiful. I get a little crazy about wanting to see everything so I was bummed to realize I missed a few nature trails but the ones we went on were beautiful!

If you have young kids or need an easy hike, look for nature trails.

They are usually short 1-2 miles or even less and pretty easy.

Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge ~Vian, OK

We went to the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge for the first time back in February of 2009 for the eagle watch tours.

My boys were so tiny!

I believe the tours run in January and February.

Then and Now!!!

We stopped by the refuge on the way to Beavers Bend State Park for my birthday this month.

They have several nature trails.

We were only able to go on one before it started POURING!

He was concerned she would hurt her feet on the rough metal bridge…

So of course I took pictures of him carry our very heavy dog over a very wobbly bridge!

They have an auto tour that we like to drive on.

We saw, ducks, geese, hawks, and an owl.

It is a really pretty refuge!

If you live nearby be sure to check it out!

Especially during the upcoming months when the Eagles will be there.

Next time I want to be sure and bring binoculars for the boys to use!

I think they would have more fun on the auto tour that way.
