Cochran Mill Park - Cochran Mill Trail

Cochran Mill Park is an 800-acre park about a 15-minute drive from my house. There are miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking. There a several creeks, small waterfalls, old mill ruins, wildlife, beautiful trees, and wildflowers. When the weather is nice, Mayzie and I like to take long walks on the various trails. One day in the early spring, I encountered many wildflowers in bloom.
