Crowe Bridge Conservation Area
Crowe Bridge Park is a beautiful little conservation area with small cascading waterfalls that create an idyllic swimming spot at the Weir Dam. The Crowe River flows over the rocks, creating a shallow swimming hole that is perfect for both kids and adults. Not only a great swimming destination, but the park also has plenty of hiking trails, and picnic spots. www.crowevalley.com/crowe-bridge/
