For the second weekend in a row we took the whole family for a hike, along with some friends. The forecast was calling for rain, but we got lucky and it turned out to be a beautiful day, with temperatures in the 70's. So we headed for Oconee Station. We parked at the Historic Site / picnic area (there is no fee any more), and got started on the Oconee Station trail. We stayed to the left going ar0und the pond, and crossed the road to start the Station Cove Falls trail. There is a small dirt parking lot here, but I think the hike winds up being too short from here. In another half mile or so, we reached the falls, and the kids were VERY excited. After a short break we went back the way we came. We stayed right around the pond, since I was afraid the far side would be too overgrown from infrequent use. But either way it is about the same distance. We had a picnic lunch at the parking area, and then walked over to see the two historic buildings. A great hike!
