Line Creek Trailhead
Park
👍👍 One of my favorite places to walk year round. If you’ve not been out this winter to see it frozen, you’re missing out. This winter wonderland is “otherworldly”. The best place to see waterfalls is at the Community Center Entrance on Waukomis — just across from the Elementary School. If you park...

Rope Playground at Roanoke Park
Park
👍 No restrooms nearby and the rope slide can be a bit daunting for younger aged kids. This park is great for maybe 8/9+ as there are many older kids things to do which younger children will struggle to play with. Not to say this isn’t a good park for all ages, it has baby swings even I believe. Howev...

There's also covered swinging benches for the grown-ups. There's a structure for bigger kids and a section for toddlers, swings, a...

👍👍 An absolutely outstanding trail system that would benefit enormously from a few maps being posted along the route, better trail blazes, and directional signs at forks & intersections. And please, pretty please, with sugar on it, carry out your drink containers, poop bags, tissues, and other trash. T...

Cave Spring Park
Park
👍 Definitely a fun place to visit and explore. From a hikers perspective, very poor signage from one trail to another. There were trails blazed in red and we only noticed that because a rock was red here, a tree was red there and we figured that must be the case. There are white signs and arrows, but...
