A Beautiful Sublime Sunday At Summit Lake State Park

Several Sunday's back, we visited Summit Lake State Park. I only mention when because Indiana was still in bloom at the time.

The lake and its surrounding walking trails were beautiful. I loved seeing all of the new life starting to spring up all around us.

You may not be able to spy all of them in the photos below but the lake had several people fishing from boats all over it. We sat on that bench for awhile just to soak it all in.

I do not know why but I always enjoying seeing how the trail flows through the trees while walking in nature. I often wonder if the paths are original from people in the past walking the same way or if they were put in by the state.

And last but not least, we seen a huge boulder that seemed to be out of place for the area. It was larger than it looks in that 1st photo. The tree next to it was pretty big too. I'm not so sure it wasn't more than one tree that grew together.

I do miss going out to a decent lake. Growing up my grandparents had cabin on a lake for a vacation spot. School would get out and that meant you get to go to the cabin for the weakened! The dock would have to be put out each year, there was some cleaning needed as sometimes the cabin sat empty (in those years) over the winter times expect for a couple of ice fishing trips.

Whoever put that park bench there for that view of the lake understands what is important. It looks like an inviting place to sit, smell the fresh water, and have the wind blow off the lake keeping you cool.

Only thing better would been going out on a dock and hearing the water splash on it as you try and catch dinner. Just enjoying the day without a care in the world.

Lake are a great place to relax. We used to vacation in WI and they have some beautiful lakes there.

I agree, they placed that bench perfectly and knew why it needed to be there. :D

I use to fish but I have not in years now. Fresh fish is good stuff though.

Thanks, I am glad you liked it. I can't wait to visit other state parks now that things are in bloom. We have a pretty good variety of stuff across the state. :D

Nice rock to sit a while. It looks like it was deliberately rolled against the tree which does look like it was perhaps two seedlings that grew together. This looks like a gorgeous park to wander through...

We thought about going to stand by the rock but the ground off the paths was pretty moist from rain. It was a nice place to walk and it was our 1st time at that one.

It is rather lovely. Nice to think the trails were there long before the park and you are walking where folks did long ago. I wonder if the boulder was pushed there by a glacier. Never know. But I think that's likely in your area of the world. Have a nice night.

I like to think the trails were made by people of the past. :D I though about it being there from a glacier too because it doesn't fit the area at all. I hope you have a great day too!!

I hope the weather gets good by you soon so you can go. The deck and me having to work some Saturday's has kept us from going to another one. I am anxious to go back out and get photo's of a park in full bloom.

You're welcome. We were planning on spending this nice warm weather exploring, but we have had so much rain, and my husband injured his foot. So, we are on hold for awhile.
