Left work a little early and did an easy walk with Benny at Cherry Plain State Park/Capital District Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Parked near the campground/park entrance (which was closed). Started out on the blue-marked waterfalls trail. Then took a short red spur trail to the old mill site and some small waterfalls on the Black River. Returned to the blue trail. At one point, the trail crossed the river, but I continued on the old road for a while until it petered out. Then, I backtracked to the crossing and continued on the blue trail on the other side of the river. It eventually lead back to a trailhead on Jiggs Highway. We then followed Miller road back to the car.
Next, we took the Charcoal Trail which starts at the SW corner of the beach parking area. Followed it uphill to a spur trail that dead ended at a charcoal site. Back on the charcoal trail, continued for a while to where it leveled off in a pine plantation. Didn't see anything of note except some rusty barrels.
A very pleasant evening for a stroll. Some mosquitoes were out, but a dash of DEET took care of them. Walked about 3 miles altogether.
