They are racing for the shade.

It was a little bit hot.

The education center was closed when we went.

I am not sure if it is only used for school trips and stuff?

Martin Park Nature Center

We found out that the nature center was closed for construction after we got there.

So you will want to check the status of that before you go.

This place had really nice easy walks but we ran into seed ticks while there. I am wondering if it was from the bridge or tower.

We stayed in the middle of the path and usually can avoid them if we don’t brush up against grass.

Thankfully a baby wipe got a lot of them off.

Acadia Lake State Parks

We actually parked here so Little Bit could take a nap!

It was really hot that day but by parking in the shade right next to the lake, it was not bad at all.

This trail does not seem to get much use.

The farther we went the smaller the trail so we turned around.

I try not to take trails that are too narrow in the summer here.

Sure enough we got ticks from this one as well.

Arcadia Lake is really pretty though and has lots of camping options.

Might need to make an rv trip here someday.
