Little Manatee River

Jayden has been wanting to find a location for a hike for quite some time now, and since we were both home today (and everyone else was busy with work!) we decided that today was our day to explore! We headed off to a nearby park - the Little Manatee River State Park - to hit their 6.2 mile trail. While the sights were pretty, the trail itself was a little more hit or miss. Some parts were clearly defined while others were terribly overgrown, causing us to question if we were even still on the trail! We are already looking forward to another hiking experience, but we will probably try to time it so we aren't going in the middle of summer!
