Canyon Park Cabin

Butter Nut

The large butternut just off the upper loop trail is pretty unusual. We will be looking in earnest for the nuts this week. If we find any we will try and get some more growing. There are a few others on the property but nothing this large.

Welcome to Canyon Park Cabin

Canyon Park is located in the rugged, unglaciated “driftless” area of Southwest Wisconsin.

The cabin is a fully furnished vacation rental home, on 44 spectacular acres that you can explore. You’ll enjoy the solitude of the bluffs, and the rush of the water in the spring fed pond and creek. Hiking trails and picnic spots abound.

And it’s Peaceful out here. If you like the State Parks, but don’t like the crowds, you’ll Love Canyon Park.

If you can bring yourself to leave the cool leafy canyon, some of Wisconsin’s best attractions are just minutes away. Dodgeville, Mineral Point, Spring Green and Mt. Horeb are all less than 20 miles from the canyon, and there are many local wonders in that small area.

Canyon Park is ideal for your next Get-Away or Get-Together. Please contact us for information and reservations.

We hope you’ll sign up for our Newsletter and keep in touch with our Blog for photos and more about the Canyon Park Experience!

Peace,

Jeff and Lynn Martin

Another fungus

This looks similar to what we’d call “chicken of the woods” and we’ll need to keep an eye on it to see what it turns out to be. This is the first time I’ve seen it growing directly in the dirt, the “chicken of the woods” that we’ve seen has always been growing on a tree or stump, ususally a red oak. But there is a red oak directly above this one. We’ll get a picture next week, too.

It’s a Jungle out here!

It’s now August. And stuff is growing like crazy. Can’t hardly keep up. Along the driveway its overgrown, the plants on the edge of the woods needs to be trimmed, grass needs to be mowed, landscape plants need upkeep, fungus’ are popping up all over. The garden is doing well but most likely needs water and mulch. But the swamp cabbage is beginning to fail. If you’ve seen the posting about these plants you know that they are the first sign that fall is on the way, just as they are the first thing that’s green in the spring. Here’s a shot from down in the canyon, near the clearing looking east.

On a yellow birch log near the pond this little fungus grew up overnight.
