hibernia county park

Driving down to Wolf's Hollow I saw a sign for Hibernia County Park. I decided if I had time, I'd check it out on my way back. Unlike Wolf's Hollow, this one was well marked from the highway. 

I didn't know a thing about this park. So I was surprised to see a marker for "mansion". It also had a park office, playground, camping, boating and all kinds of stuff. The perfect place for a stay-cation. It looks like they rent out the mansion for events. (Instead of leaving it fall to ruins like they did at the Hornfleck Mansion in Bethlehem Township.) They even offer tours of the mansion which "explores ruins, structures and landscape features located on Forest Hill and Forge Trails and Lion’s Head Drive that tell the story of Hibernia’s past." 

Since I had already done the 5K, I chose to do the short, 1/2 mile "lake loop. These trails are also quite different that Wolfs Hollow. Natural, but covered with very fine gravel, more like the D&L. The park is 900 acres so there are a lot of trails.

The path I followed had the worlds smallest bird blind!

I'm glad I stopped. I usually am. Have brown sign will travel. It also felt good to go to two places I hadn't been before. I doubt I will go back to Wolf's Hollow, but I will certainly go back here. Maybe I'll do a stay-cation in one of the cabins. My tent days are over.
