Amherst State Park

This was incredible: Big open fields, narrow walking paths along the water, gathering areas for picnics, beautiful fauna - it’s got it all! You can walk through the narrow paths following the water for a more hike-like experience, or just stay around the large fields and lay out a picnic.

Grounds well maintained this visit. Nice surprise to see all dogs on leash. Someone built cairns in the water which is lovely. The work on the stone steps is beautiful. A nice place to wander with gardens and memorial at the entrance.

Great for a short hike along the beautiful Ellicott Creek and the woods. Lots of dragonflies to spot plus some tasty wild blackberries is always a great snack.
