Things to Avoid in Pulaski County Park

Tips for Visiting Pulaski County Park

Plan your visit - Try to visit at least one other time of year and make sure you try to go in the fall. Spring is a nice time to visit because the deciduous trees have leaves, but there’s not as much other leaf-collecting going on. Bring extra batteries for your camera - You may want to bring a few extra batteries for your camera because batteries go fast in the sun. You’ll want to make sure your camera is ready in case you want to take a long walk in the forest or take a few pictures. Wear appropriate shoes

Conclusion

Some of the trails in the park are easy to hike, but some are steep and can get you dirty quickly since the trail isn’t a smooth concrete sidewalk. You may want to wear hiking shoes that have a lot of grip or tennis shoes with a grip bottom so you don’t get too muddy on the trail.
