Sometimes, visiting a new park is kind of like a blind date. After five days at George Wyth State Park with its great bike trail system, I was afraid my 'hometown' park, Beed's Lake, might disappoint my friends and relatives--a plain step sister, if you will.
But we arrived yesterday afternoon, went through the usual setup fol-de-rol, and after a lovely supper, went for a little walk to view the step dam built back in the Thirties. Beed's Lake suddenly became Cinderella, putting on a wonderful show. Combined with near perfect temperatures and breezes, the evening light really showcased the beauty of this park.

The step dam is mesmerizing to view because the varying protrusions of limestone make wonderful patterns. Squaw Creek, which leads into nearby Hampton, is a beautiful sheltered spot. We are anxious to hike the trails around here and see more.
For you campers out there, I should mention the large campground with lots of level, shaded sites, and a brand new showerhouse.
Nice job, Beed's Lake--you go, girl!
