Fiddlers Green Park — Attraction in Town of De Witt

This is a nice little park. Great place for a walk and a decent spot to fish. Really interesting name. I am not sure who came up with it. Always makes me think of the poem, of the same name, from my time in the U.S. Calvary.

Halfway down the trail to hell, In a shady meadow green are souls of all dead Troopers camped, Near a good old time canteen. This eternal resting place Is know as fiddler's green.

So when man and horse go down Beneath a saber keen. Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee You stop a bullet clean. And the hostiles come to get your scalp Just empty your canteen And put your pistol to your head And go to fiddler's green.

Hidden Gem ! Travel back in time 200 years. Beautiful well maintained walking trails in a wooded area along butternut creek behind the old Glenn loch restaurant in Jamesville NY. Take out what you bring in, very dog friendly. A must stop if your a nature lover. Benches are spread out at perfect points to just sit and enjoy the roar of the creek rushing over rocks or the babbling of the creek just rolling peacefully along, both are very satisfying. I'm pretty sure this would be a great area for trout fishing in season. By the way, I walk with a cane and easily...
