As the seasons change, so does the weather and locations that are best to visit. However, one place stays just as charming and as colorful as it always is. With an abundance of wild life, natural beauty, and fortunately for adventurers-less crowds of people, Garner State Park is the perfect winter getaway location. Here are 5 cool things you can do in Garner State Park this winter.
1. Stay inside
Renting a cozy cabin in the winter isn’t always about simply having a place to sleep at night after a day’s worth of adventuring. The cabin itself can be used to relax, unwind, and spend time with family and friends. Sometimes during an exceptionally cold day it is best to stay inside and relax. Garner state park has single family cabins and larger group or family cabin rentals available.
2. Geocaching
Glers state park is home to what is arguably the world’s largest underground cave system, the geocaching. As with any large open space the cave entrances get busy especially during the summer. Don’t let the door handle hang open or else you might get caught out- hiking in to a cache could get you wet remember. Bring a cell phone or some type of GPS device if you still want to explore the caves. There are super coolridor maps that show you exactly how deep and far in to the cave systems are.
