Preview Post: Lake Wapogasset Park

Lake Wapogasset Park is on Lake Wapogasset in the Town of Garfield, which is next to Amery.  There is a nice covered picnic area and a playground for the kids.  The park also houses a boat launch and lots of shoreline, but there is not a swimming area from what I can tell.

The park also contains a trail and bathrooms.

Preview Post: Amery School Forest

The Amery School Forest is open to the public to explore.  There are trails and a shelter.  It is focused mainly on the plant life in the area, but I'm sure their is fauna to be found as well!  This looks like a nice place to take the family for a couple of hours.

Preview Post: Glenna Farms

Glenna Farms in Amery is primarily a maple syrup...farm?  Orchard? I guess I'm not sure what you call that, but syrup is their thing!

While Glenna Farms' store is open year-round, they welcome the general public to the rest of the farm for various events throughout the year.

The pumpkin patch in the Fall comes with a free horse-drawn hayride, cider, and cookies.  They also have tour and tasting events.  There is a free pancake breakfast in the spring...with maple syrup, of course!

Preview Post: York Park

If you are looking to explore the great outdoors, look no further than York Park in Amery.  This is a 40-acre park with lots of adventure waiting inside.  It is not your "sit and watch the kids play" kind of park.  This is the park where you bring your backpack and see where the day takes you.

They have woods, lake, and bog.  York Park is also recognized as a great place for bird watching, and I would guess you may find your fair share of other critters here, too.

There are trails and a picnic area.

Preview Post: South Twin Park

South Twin Park looks like a great place to play in Amery!  There is a sandy beach on South Twin Lake.  There is no life guard on duty, so watch closely.  There is a large, covered picnic area and a building with showers (and I would assume toilets?).

I see plenty of space to run around. The park is listed as having a playground, but that looks to consist of a few swings and maybe a see-saw.

Preview Post: Schumacher Park

Schumacher Park in Amery sounds like a quiet place for a picnic.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot there, so I wouldn't plan on spending an afternoon.  It is right on the river, so there might be some potential for feeding ducks!

Preview Post: North Twin Park

North Twin Park is more of the same in Amery: a sweet little picnic and fishing spot.  Not much more.  It does have a pretty nice pier to sit on to enjoy the views.

Now, if I were looking for a park to which to take the kiddos in Amery, North Park might just be the place I'd pick first.  It sounds like they have a little bit of everything.  While they do have that old Amery standard of fishing and picnicking, there is also a playground!  They also have everything I can think of wanting to do at a park: horseshoes, skateboarding, disc golf, baseball, and the list goes on.

Bathrooms are listed for this park...and wifi!  Fancy.

Preview Post: Michael Park

Michael Park is also known as Bobber Park (on account of the giant bobber sculpture) or Dam Park (on account of the dam).  This looks like another great place in Amery to picnic and fish, but there doesn't really seem to be any equipment or particular places to play.

Preview Post: Flag Pole Park

From what I can tell, Flag Pole Park offers either a nice place to get out of the car and stretch your legs as your passing through or a quiet spot for a picnic and some fishing.  If you're not looking for one of those particular circumstances, I don't see much to do there.
