In the late afternoon rain, I rode my cyclocross bike across the meadows, around both lakes, on and off the paths, over mud, gravel, grass, tarmac, along rows of corn, up and down the ravines, through the trees and even the pavilions.
I stopped and petted an orange tabby who was napping on a picnic table under a shelter. The lakes were host to a variety of water fowl. A cotton-tailed bunny ran nearly under my front wheel and a large bullfrog hopped across my path too.
For almost two hours I was the only human in the 890-acre park. This is a great place to be in a warm summer rain shower, probably not so good to be up in the meadows during a lighting and thunder storm though.
