The trails of Susquehannock State Park provide a beautiful setting for horseback riding. Several shaded hitching rails for horses are located in the park to accommodate riding clubs and horse-drawn wagons. The Valley Lea Riding Club took advantage of this beautiful Saturday to mount up and explore the trails.

In case you forgot (or just never knew), the first full week of May is National Wildflower Week! Here are a selection of wildflowers seen around the park the p...ast few weeks. Remember, different plants bloom at various times of the growing season, so you never know what you'll find out on the trails! Click on individual photos for names. #NationalWildflowerWeek

A huge THANK YOU to the volunteers who came out on Saturday to blaze the trails.
