グリーン郡の湖・トップ6

This fun farm-themed park includes animal barns, a fishing pond, open pastures and a visitor center. It is also one of the main trailheads for the Wilson's Creek Trail, with a one-mile paved trail along Wilson's Creek and plenty of parking.

Nathanael Greene Park shares the property with the Springfield Botanical Gardens. Walking paths surround the gardens, ponds, and gazebos, and some connect to the South Creek Greenway, which passes by Lake Drummund.

Sequiota Park is beautiful, spanning 28 acres and offering a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy. There are several picnic areas and plenty of open space. Its unique feature is a protected cave on the grounds that is home to an endangered migrating colony of gray bats. The park surrounds a lovely pond with plenty of ducks, geese, and swans, making it the perfect place to stop for a picnic and enjoy its beautiful surroundings.

Follow North Farm Road 189 to the end, where there is a boat launch, to get a great view of Fellows Lake. There are covered picnic benches here, making it a great spot to relax and have a snack while soaking up the views.

Jerry's Progress is one of many trails at Fellows Lake. This is a longer loop trail that dives in and out of the trees as it follows along the shores of the lake. There are a bunch of sporadic views, but you spend the majority of your time in the woods. There are some boardwalks and bridges to get around the wetter and muddier areas, and the trail intersections are all marked pretty well.

The Uncle Frank Trail and Liberty Loop intersect at the road leading to this small boat launch and picnic area. This is a great starting or stopping (or turnaround) spot on a hike. There are great views of Fellows Lake from the grassy area near the parking lot. Plus, there are restrooms, a small pavilion, and a couple picnic tables here.
