Hiking at Shearon Harris Park

Well, we're apparently on a fitness jig right now!! Another day of hiking - this time at the lovely Shearon Harris power plant. Progress Energy had donated a sizable tract of land for this park many years ago. I didn't realize how nice it was!

This pretty pond was early in the 5 mile route.  (weird effects on this photo....but I thought it was cool anyway).



About 1/2 way around the loop, we could clearly see the cooling tower across the lake.



Another pretty pond.  There was a family, the Wombles, who owned the land from the early 1800's.  There are some ruins and several of the pretty ponds were their farm ponds.  A pretty walk on a warm day!

That's nice...I have fond memories of water skiing there...but I didn't know there were trails and a park...

Love,
