A roadside
park beside U.S. Highway 287 northwest of Woodville is a wonderful
place just for sitting on a park bench, listening to the sounds
of the forest, and dipping your toes in a spring-fed pool built
by Civilian Conservation Corps workers in the 1930s. Families come
here for reunions, kids enjoy running around the expansive grounds,
and Scout troops often camp beneath the tall trees.
(From "Out-of-the-way
places" by Bob Bowman)
