Shades Park is in the middle of nowhere, on the bank of Sugar Creek. We started out with a steep descent in to the 'Devil's Punch Bowl' carved by a stream out of the shale. The walls were a good 60' high all around with just a trickle of water in the bottom.
We hiked back out a visited an overlook at the top. There was a 35 year-old playground that engaged the boys more than most new ones (not the ones I design of course.)
There are more trails we could not get to, marked Rugged and Very Rugged. That will leave us something to look forward to. Isaac and Jacob did manage some 'Rugged' stream crossings.
