Tickfaw State Park, Louisiana: Awesome Trails!
Our family discovered Tickfaw State Park in Springfield, LA in the spring of 2014. Now every time we are in that part of Louisiana, we try to stop for a hike.
This time, we had our two year old grandson with us. He loved the Nature Center; especially the aquariums! As soon as he got on the boardwalk trail behind the Nature Center, he started to laugh and run. It’s a great place for small children because most of the trail has a railing on both sides.
We saw turtles, heard a variety of birds, threw small twigs and leaves into the water, and looked up at the tall trees in wonder. It’s amazing how the world opens up when you are looking through the eyes of a child.
The trail is the perfect distance for little legs and he loved going through the Nature Center one more time before we strapped him into his car seat for the ride back to our park.
We can’t wait to take him again and hopefully next time, we will camp there.
