Places to Go - Car Camping at Cunningham Falls State Park, Part II - hiking and swimming

waterfall

As I mentioned yesterday, a few weeks ago our family went car camping at Cunningham Falls State Park. During out visit, we hiked (only 0.5 miles) to the waterfall, which seemed more like a water trickle (I guess it's late in the season for rushing rapids). Rocks and boulders surround the waterfall area, which the kids loved climbing on (though I worried I'd twist my ankle).

We also went swimming in Hunting Creek Lake, which has a small beach area. The water was brownish and sort of dirty but the kids loved it. Plus the water was shallow, so they could explore further out (and a lifeguard sat on duty).

By Sunday afternoon, we were exhausted. So we packed up the minivan and headed home (the park is about 1.5 hours from Arlington), bathing suits still on.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE!!
