Our Ghost Town Trail and Hoodlebug Trail are only two of many rail-trals that exist in western Pennsylvania. The region is one of the top rail-trail areas in the nation. This scene was photographed at the Redbank Valley Rail Trail located in Jefferson, Clarion and Armstrong County. It's a 42-mile long rail-trail where you will find small towns, great scenery, and wildlife to view. Well worth a visit if you are looking for other rail-trails to explore.
Recent heavy rains have refilled this watery pool at the Blacklick Valley Natural Area.
Each year we mow this field at Blue Spruce Park one time in the fall to keep the woody vegetation from taking over. This year our crew decided to get creative and has mowed the field into a pattern of a labyrinth.
