I am starting to think about what my summer vacation will look like if all the state park pools are closed due to Coronavirus. ⛺

I was thinking of maybe doing something different this year if the parks are closed – maybe a week at Piseco-Powley Road in mid summer. Wouldn’t it be neat I was thinking if I could camp for example at that House Pond campsite and spend much of the week in the swimming hole down there?

I could one day hike back to Spectical Lake, one day go down to Moss Island and Little Falls and visit the Green Acres Drive in at Dolgeville a few times and the farm stands. Granted it might not be that much different from the common weekend trip but it would still offer a lot of chance to cool down and relax.

Even if the parks aren’t open by summer for swimming I assume by then they’ll be issuing camping permits for extended stays or I’ll have to make other arrangements. Maybe I could do a week in the Allegheny National Forest, been a while since I’ve done a full week there or the Green Mountains. That little beach on Grout Pond is fun.
