1. The Blankets Creek Trail System

I frequently Bike and Trail Run at Blankets Creek. The volunteers that take care of the trail here are really fantastic, quick to take care of felled trees and washouts. So I always abide by the trail open/close status so as to preserve their hard work. Van Michael's trail is great for working on your climbs, Dwelling is long rolling hills - not too aggressive, and South Loop is a substantial technical challenge with the most rocks & roots of the 3 big trails. There are proper restrooms on site next to the parking lot as well.

We recently participated with Wreaths Across America on December 14th. The system of laying Christmas wreaths on every soldiers grave for the holiday and to remember each soldier. It was well organized and had plenty of wreaths. The cemetery looked so beautiful and peaceful. We went there again this weekend to get a last look and pictures before wreath cleanup on Saturday. There were a lot of visitors there which is very encouraging. There is an open rest room, trash facilities, and water to fill vases available.

We had just moved to Canton and found the park by accident. We were trying to find a spot to enjoy our takeout dinner (picnic) and parked the car and noticed people walking out of the woods. So we took a stroll and found a beautiful hiking path with benches and beautiful trees and flowers. It opened up into a huge field where we came back to, and later flew our kite there. Who knew?
