Shakamak State Park Hike...

We went to Shakamak State Park on a lovely Sunday earlier this month. (2nd February.) The weather was gorgeous and the kiddos loved playing at a playground. We then went and hiked a much-longer trail than we had anticipated. We had planned to hike just a one-mile loop, but our hike turned out to be around four miles - all the way around Lake Shakamak! (We didn't have a map with us on the day, and that contributed to our mistake.) It was still lots of fun and both children did brilliantly!
