Douglas Walker Park — Attraction in Byron Township

I was really excited when I found out that there was a hiking trail, but sadly I was very disappointed. Not even half way through it I found trash littering the banks of the river.

We have enough players that we supplement with slow cookers and buffet heaters but electrical outlets are plentiful and there are multiple sources of running water. Attached...
