County Parks - Hidden Gems

County Parks tend to be either a wonderful surprise or a huge disappointment.

Anyone can open a phone book to find where all the county/city parks are within the area, and this is one of the main reasons I wanted this community site to be used.

Most towns have a variety of playground areas, but for us adventurous folk, we tend to arrive with some expectation. When the county park description says 'hiking trail' I am not looking for a biking trail that sends me along open meadows or anything streetside. Pah! There must be some visual appeal, a trail that says 'come hither', and we have no choice but to follow.
