Lake Hope State Park from lodge
Lake Hope State Park from lodge
The beautiful view overlooking Lake Hope, the namesake of the 2,983-acre Lake Hope State Park. The park lies entirely within the 26,824-acre Zaleski State Forest. The park provides opportunities for #hiking, swimming, fishing, camping, photography, dining, and general R&R. The park even has a really cool summer program where you can feed hummingbirds from your hand! You hold a vial of sugar water at arm's length and from out of nowhere the hummingbirds start appearing! If you're steady and patient, they'll begin to feed right in front of you!
First day of winter and some nice ice formations have started.
Hope Lake State Park has a surprising amount of fantastic single track mountain biking! Multiple trails that go for miles through the deep woods, across streams, up and down hills.

The ruins of the Belgium Coke Ovens inside Vinton Furnace Experimental Forest. The ovens were built to produce coke from coal to use in the iron furnace. These structures at the Vinton site are thought to be the only existing ones in the world. The original structure built in the 1850's included twenty-four ovens: seventeen of which remain standing. Each oven is about 3 feet wide, 6 feet tall and 25 feet deep.
