Pretty, but needs some love
Mississippi Palisades State Park的点评
点评:It was a rainy few days in late June when we visited the park to camp, hike and bike. It was raining when we arrived so we drove to the over looks in the park waiting for it to stop. It was a Sunday around 2:00 and the place was empty. We saw maybe one or two other cars at any overlook we stopped at. The park is pretty, but in need of some work. The overlooks are very overgrown. You can't even see the bridge noted in an overlook information plaque. We decided to do the Sunset trail at Lookout Point and regretted it. It was very overgrown and slippery because of the rain. If it were dry it would probably be better. We ended up hiking every trail except Bittersweet and Deer. After trudging through waist high plants on Pine and Twin Sisters we decided to ride part of the Great River Trail. The bike path was very flat and had some great opportunities to turn off into the wildlife reserve. The campground is huge. We had site 111 at the very end of the road. It was a typical IL state park with very little shade from trees. The interesting thing was the sites in these hilly fields that seeded on top of each other. I assume you either drive in the field or carry your things from your car.???The campground was basically empty except for a few scattered RVs and a few tents. Decent shower house with flush toilets. I wouldn't return, but not because it was terrible...there are just so many places to see.
翻译:六月下旬,我们去公园露营、徒步旅行和骑自行车,当时正值阴雨天。我们到达时正在下雨,所以我们开车到公园的观景点等待雨停。那是周日下午 2:00 左右,这个地方空无一人。在我们停下来的任何观景台上,我们可能都看到了一两辆车。公园很漂亮,但需要一些改进。俯瞰处杂草丛生。您甚至看不到俯瞰信息牌上注明的桥梁。我们决定在观景台走日落步道,但后悔了。由于下雨,这里杂草丛生,而且很滑。如果是干的可能会更好。我们最终徒步旅行了除了苦乐参半和鹿之外的所有小径。在松树和双姐妹上艰难地穿过齐腰高的植物后,我们决定骑行大河步道的一部分。自行车道非常平坦,有一些很好的机会拐进野生动物保护区。露营地很大。我们的站点 111 位于路的尽头。这是一个典型的伊利诺伊州州立公园,几乎没有树荫。有趣的是这些丘陵地带的遗址相互重叠。我猜你要么在田野里开车,要么从车里搬东西。???除了一些零散的房车和一些帐篷外,露营地基本上是空的。体面的淋浴间配有抽水马桶。我不会回来,但不是因为它很糟糕……只是有很多地方值得一看。
