Do your children enjoy running down paths?  Do you and your family like bicycling? Do your children like to throw stones in the water? If so, you are sure to enjoy visiting either Haley Farm or Bluff Point.

Both of these state parks are full of wide paths for hiking or biking and plenty of picnic spots.  Pack a lunch and eat under a shady tree or at a picnic table.   

At Bluff Point, you can go for a hike or just relax on the shore. Your children will love crabbing from the rocks, splashing in the water, or running down the paths. Whatever you decide, you and your family will benefit from the fresh air and exercise.

At Haley Farm, you can take a walk or a bicycle ride along the paths and spot bullfrogs in the ponds and deer tracks in the dirt.  Take a rest on one of the many stone walls and enjoy the view.  Explore the stone foundations on the property and have your children imagine what they once were.
