Hiking: Guys Day Out at Rodburn Park

Today I decided to take my oldest son for a light hike.  He is only 5 years old, so it was important for me to find somewhere where he could walk easily and feel a sense of accomplishment when he was done.  There aren't a lot of advertised places near us, but I remembered a light trail that is close to our home I enjoyed as a child.

Rodburn Park is nestled just off of U.S. 60 East and is a great place for a day in the woods with the kids.  There is a covered pavilion, bbq grilles, volleyball net, swing sets, and of course the hiking trails.  The Park has 2 trails, Rodburn Loop and a connector to the Sheltowee Trace.  The Rodburn Loop trail is perfect for young ones as it is only about .6 miles in length.  The trail was well maintained and has 3 bridges passing over beautiful, clear streams.  He thoroughly enjoyed this hike and I enjoyed his company, what more could you ask for.
