Happy Bench Monday from Tugman State Park! (+7 insets)


(+7 insets!)
Stop #3 of our 2020 Escaping Covid trip: Tugman State Park
Leaving Bullard's Beach after a wonderful week of fun, relaxation and adventure, we headed north for a new campground destination. Tugman State Park would turn out to be so wonderful that it now sits on our list of favorite Oregon State Parks!
Family Planning Not Quite According to Plan!
Before we found out that campgrounds were open again, Steve's sister called to let us know that things had changed. She lives in California (about 700 miles south in the Los Angeles metropolitan area) and since we had an RV, she thought it was high time we got together for part of our trips. So she and Steve coordinated a spot where we could hang out and that turned out to be Tugman State Park! However, our desire to reserve a nice long stay proved to be impossible. We ended up reserving four nights, followed by a two-night stay at a "glorified parking lot" private RV park, and then seven more nights at Tugman. Not ideal but at least the private RV park was only 45 minutes away.
Tugman State Park
Located just to the side of the lovely and large Eel Lake, this campground features closely-connected loops that are nested within each other--something that I haven't found in other parks. The result is a fairly compact park that can be a bit confusing when trying to remember where your camping spot is.
This campground has three unique and wonderful aspects: two trails which are just a walk from the campground, and of course, the lake itself. The shorter of the two trails is just 1.1 miles but don't let the length disappoint you--that wonderful trail will have me returning forever! It leads in and out of the forest and around the western shore--it's absolutely perfect to start each day with. I looked forward to every walk I went on and just thinking about it now makes me wish I were there! The trail terminates in benches that are perched on a spot that juts just a bit into the lake. Sitting there or standing out and looking at the twinkling lake, there are few places to match this tranquil beauty. The 6.1-mile hike along the eastern shore is outstanding and gorgeous, leading through the mixed conifer and deciduous forest and peeking out on the lake here and there with benches for anyone needing breaks. Finally, the lake itself is stunning and fantastic for canoeing or kayaking, or for those who'd like to try catching a fish.
Today's Pictures
I discovered that I've only posted a couple of pictures from our stay here so I'll be sharing pictures from our stay in this area for a few days! :) Today I'm featuring the perfect picture for Happy Bench Monday! Would you just LOOK at that crazy bench?! It sits at the end of the short trail I started every day with. As you can see from one of the insets, the view is wonderful! My insets show some of the beautiful things I saw on my walk and I'll be posting other pictures in the coming days to add to this.
I hope that you are all doing well. At our house it's very cold, snowy, rainy, mucky and pretty miserable outside, but in the afternoons it's sometimes gorgeous and sunny! Crazy weather! Stay safe and thank you so much for all of your marvelous comments and stars--your visits mean so much to me!

HBM.
looks to be a nice place for a holiday stay!
Schönen Abend, Janet
Les Pips sont magnifiques et ravissants a voir.Tout est naturellement pris.
Bonne fin de soirée et agreable semaine.
Happy evening:)
A wonderful collection of images in the PiPs of course............the first one is pretty amazing with gorgeous light and dappled shadows along that lovely tree-line footpath I also like the third one with that lovely sparkly bokeh in the distance and the crocodile in the foreground.
The fungi in the fifth PiP complete with a beautiful spider is just amazing and probably my overall fave of this batch.
A fascinating narrative as usual.............it must have been lovely meeting up with Steve's family!
No snow in my part of the country, but it's freezing cold and has been raining nearly every day for what seems like weeks. Not that it matters much as we can't go anywhere interesting anyway :-))
