Getting LOST at Townsend Park

Benjamin Hikes ASMR ·

2025/05/24

We're back at Townsend Park! The maps indicated that there was a longer loop (we walked a shorter loop on this hike: https://youtu.be/joPv3vFTZ0Q), which I could not find. I reached the Cannon Trail, but no where could I find another dirt trail as indicated by my GPS tracking app. We may have to explore Townsend Park again. For today, experience my confusion and the beautiful trails at Townsend Park!Location: Townsend Park; Kent County, MichiganWeather: 46° F / 7.8° C, CloudyDifficulty:

Soggy and Wet, the Green Loop at Creekside Park

Benjamin Hikes ASMR ·

2025/05/03

Welcome back to Creekside Park! This was a soggy walk... Listen carefully when I reach the grassy portions of the trail, you'll hear my socks and shoes getting rather moist. Also, get an inside look at what happens when I miss a sign and walk down the wrong trail!
