I am linking up with Skywatch Friday and Good Fences
I hope you can join in on the fun and share your fence scenes and pretty skies.
Hello, I am sharing another day trip to Fair Hill NRMA, a Maryland park bordered by Pennsylvania to the North and one half mile west of Delaware. This park holds the Cecil County annual fair, they also have Steeplechases. The Big Elk Creek runs the entire length of the park, there is fishing, multiple trails, picnic areas and other numerous activities. Oh, I can not leave out birding, last year I saw my Bobolink lifer at this park.
Some scenes from the park are ton top row: the barn and pond with some geese, and bottom row possibly a Wood Thrush seen on the trail, Mallard and more Geese.
The stone mansion and park land was once owned and used as a hunting lodge by Mr William du Pont until the State of Maryland bought the land in 1974. The mansion is now the Nature Center building for the park.
The Foxcatcher Farm Covered Bridge located in the Fair Hill Park is one of two covered bridges found in Cecil County, Maryland.
A view of one of the trails we hiked, the trail runs along side of the creek.
Fair Hill is also a thoroughbred training center located on 350 acres. Plenty of fences in this park for the stables, I think the stables and racetrack is leased from the state.
After leaving the park we came across the Gilpins Falls Covered Bridge is the second covered bridge located in Cecil County Maryland. The sky above the covered bridge was looking beautiful and I thought perfect for my Skywatch entry.
A large shot of the covered bridge and skywatch.
The lone cloud sky, it was a beautiful day for our walk in the park. As always, I hope you enjoyed my post and images. Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate the nice comments.
