The song “It’s a Sunshine Day” by Steve McCarthy, made
famous by the Brady Bunch sums up my feelings as I write this. It’s ok if you
start to sing.
I think I'll go for a walk outside now
The summer sun's callin' my name
(I hear ya now)
I just can't stay inside all day
I gotta get out, get me some of those rays
Everybody's smilin', sunshine day
Everybody's laughin', sunshine day
Everybody seems so happy today
It's a sunshine day
Now that the North Country is finally getting some “sunshine
days”, it’s time to take a walk outside. We are lucky to have many trails and
areas to hike. The Clinton County Health Department has developed a Walking Trails Map to guide your
travels. It includes locations, descriptions and pictures of the following
trails:
·
Point Au Roche State Park
·
Terry J. Gordon Recreational Path
·
Saranac River Trail
·
Cadyville Recreation Park
·
Saranac New Land Trust
·
Little Au Sable River Trail
·
Silver Lake Bog Trail
Maps have been distributed to town and village offices,
the Chamber of Commerce, through the Clinton, Essex, Franklin Library System. You
can also find them at the YMCA, the City of Plattsburgh Recreation Center, the
Clinton County Health Department, and other locations in Clinton County. You
may also call the Health Department’s Division of Health Planning and Promotion
at (518) 565-4993 to request a copy. We hope this resource will encourage you
to explore a new trail, walk more and have a “sunshine day!”
