Raystown Lake & Trough Creek State Park

 Back in June, hubby and I took a daytrip to Trough Creek State Park and the Raystown Lake and Dam in Pennsylvania.

At the park we took the hike to the Suspension Bridge, Rainbow Falls and the Balance Rock.

It felt a little shaky while crossing, but is was fun.  And while crossing the bridge I saw a  Great Blue Heron flying down stream. During this outing I heard more birds than I actually saw.

Here is the Rainbow Falls, I was hoping for a little more water on the falls.  I assume there had not been enough rain in this area at the right time.

We saw a lot of butterflies while at the Balance Rock. One Tawny Emperor was attracted to my hand.

Silly hubby laying under the balance rock, if it fell it would go the other way.

More butterflies were seen around our picnic area.

This is the Red-spotted Purple, a weird name for a butterfly.

Raystown Lake and some wildflowers.

A pretty view of the Raystown Lake and some of the wildflowers.

A few Killdeer were seen at the lookout at the Raystown Dam . I have a lot more images from our visit to this area I may do another post.  I hope you enjoyed our visit to the park. As always thank you for visiting my post and for the nice comments.
