Keowee-Toxaway State Park is located just outside of the town of Pickens, SC. Nestled into what is locally referred to as the Cherokee Foothills, Keowee-Toxaway State Park is situated on lands that were once inhabited by the Cherokee Indians. The Cherokee heritage is honored by an interpretive center and a short trail through the woods. Both the center and the trail provide a lot of information on the Cherokee history and way of life. The campground at Keowee-Toxaway State Park is one of nicest that you will find anywhere. Tent camping is offered on a small forested hill that provides a nice view of the forests and other natural beauty of the area. The sloping terrain of the hillside where the tent loop of campground is located has been leveled

Conservation of our natural environment is of vital importance. Now, people should preserve nature and protect it. In addition, it is imperative to realize that, the survival of humanity and many creatures depends mainly on the state of the environment around us. As matter of fact, science place a relevant part in the conservation of the planet. Moreover, Physical geography is the study of all natural forms and processes in an environment, also, the field covers the cause and effect of human activity on the environment. “Geographers study the location and distribution of things-tangible things such as rainfall, mountains, and trees" (Hess, Darrel, Physical Geography, Third California Edition) For this reason, I decided to visit The Whittier Narrows Center. It is one of the many centers that have been established in US to conserve the most crucial asset that human beings possess, the environment. Those who study geography realize that it is important to conduct a thorough study on the center and its activities to identify what makes it such a unique site. This project is providing an insight of the center by describing its natural settings per Physical Geography. The paper will focus on the center’s location, geographical settings, weather, climate, plants and trees, soils, wildlife, terrain, local history and a site map.

The Capital Reef National Park is located in south/central Utah, and is part of the great Colorado Plateau. An area of 378 square miles, the Capital Reef National Park is just one of many national parks located near the four corners (Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico). Like it was mentioned in the prompt, most of the rock formation in the Capital Reef is very similar to that of the other national parks, however, there is one geologic feature in particular that attributes to its uniqueness.

Washington Crossing State Park commemorates the crossing of General George Washington’s American Army over the Delaware River on December 25, 1776. The park houses historical sites such as the McConkey Ferry Inn, the Thompson-Neely House, and the Village of Taylorsville, as well as, of course, the site of the crossing itself. The American army crossed over an icy Delaware River from Pennsylvania to New Jersey, where they gathered to make the march down to Trenton, where they would surprise, attack, and defeat the Hessian garrison stationed there. Washington had received word that the British General Howe had moved his troops into winter quarters in New York and stationed some Hessian troops in New Jersey. From this, Washington determined that

There are very few other areas located in Indiana where you can witness nature’s work dating back millions of years. The many geological points of interests in the park, including the sandstone ravines, fossil fragments, Sugar Creek, and the waterfall located in the Punch Bowl make Turkey Run State Park an important part of Indiana’s geological history. The natural habitat the ravines provide to animal and plant life along with the historical structures and unique geological features make Turkey Run State Park an important part of Indiana’s tourism.

The Boneyard Creek is a tributary of the Salt Fork Vermilion River. It expands over the perimeters of Champaign and Urbana. Earliest recollections of the creek date back to the 1800s. There have been four renovation plans for the creek since the 1950s.

It is possible that there may be a “hatch” on Pine Creek when we ride through here. North of Blackwell is a prime area for being bombarded by flying nymphs.

As you move north, the canyon floor becomes more wooded, and the path becomes intermittent. There are ducks, a few, but the established trail pretty much vanishes by the time you reach the outlet coming down from West Kennedy Lake (a dry run of cobbles in late season). But what do you care? For a travelling companion you have Kennedy Creek, which chuckles along merrily even in autumn of drought years. Just follow the creek as you like, veering away from the water to avoid willow thickets, and picking up remnants of trail every now and again. Trees often limit the long-range views, but it is impossible to get truly lost around

Freshkills split the park into varying sections, each having its own benefits. It will have special facilities for the public to enjoy social, cultural, and physical activity. It includes activities: horseback riding, mountain biking, nature trails, kayaking, and others. It also supports diverse habitats for various wildlife and plant species. Special wildlife species will be able to connect with the park and it will be available for the public to see. Since the park is large, people will be able to navigate their way through canoeing, horseback riding, by foot, or by their car. This park consists of five main areas: the Confluence, North Park, South Park, East Park, and the West Park. Each area has its own speciality. The Confluence is the cultural and recreational core of the park and includes the Creek Landing and The Point. The Creek Landing is designed for waterfront activities, while The Point is designed for sporting activities. The North Park accommodates for the natural setting of the park such as creeks, wetlands, and meadows. On the other hand, the South Park will be a large natural setting where
