Beech Fork State Park








Today we hiked the Overlook Trail at Beech Fork State Park in Barboursville, WV. We were amazed at the amount of grasshoppers on the trail. With each step, hundreds of them jumped through the dead leaves along the trail, creating a percussive soundtrack to our hike. The trail apexed at an overlook over the whole park. With the warm weather today, it was a great hike.

One of the coolest things we saw was a dried out vine that had coiled itself into a ring, and a spider had spun a web in the middle. Eip also loved seeing a pair of deer near the start of the trail.

Miles Hiked: 1.5
Total: 3.5
