So when I asked Siri for a list of of parks, Swan Park was the closest tfrom my location , I had been driving for hours and needed to stretch plus my lil dog had to go potty. I was brought through different neighborhoods and when Siri told me it was on the right, I passed it because really it was nestled between two houses and almost looks like part of someone’s backyard can be easily missed when I pulled into one of maybe four spots in a distance it looked like someone was fishing off a small dock I believe a river runs through the neighborhood and I believe there is a ipicnic table and trash can and that’s pretty much all I saw.

Make it a...

A little less snow on the path would have helped navigate the path better, but I made it with my walker by lifting not wheeling as needed. The birds are fascinating to watch as they attempt to find a life partner before...

Angled parking at the street, access off of Wright Cty 39. Maybe a half-mile north of I-94 on #39.
On our visit, there were small numbers of swans wintering over. Other years we have seen hundreds. ...
