McDaniel Farm Park

Thursday, March 20, 2014

As the weather gets warmer here in Atlanta it seems like a good idea to spend a day at the park and there are a lot of choices in the metro area. McDaniel Farm Park in Duluth for example is a great place to spend some time in the sunshine. There’s a former cotton farm, that has been restored to depict a typical 1930s subsistence farm in Gwinnett County including barns, stables, a blacksmith’s building and much more. There are also two and a half miles of walking trails that traverse the 128 acres that make up the park. While I was enjoying my own time in the sun I found numerous individuals, couples and families doing the same. Some were bird watching, some playing with bubbles and some walking along the trails. All in all it was a good day!
