Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA: The Underwhelming Sink Hole

We were originally going to a different hiking spot, but there were so many cars there. It seems everyone and their mother were going to see the overlook on Sunday! So we went to Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA instead! This was going to just be a regular hike.. until I saw the word “Sink Hole” on the map. It then became a search for the sink hole- and it was so underwhelming.

When I think of a sink hole.. it’s something like this:

This isn’t what I saw, unfortunately. Although I must admit, the hike was beautiful, and it was a little unnerving to be close to a sink hole. I kept picturing it sinking and taking me with it!

Onward began the adventure for the sink hole.

It was really nice to finally have snow in the woods- It’s been a pretty mild Winter so far and it’s ruining my Winter Wonderland shots I have envisioned in my mind! Doesn’t the forest look absolutely magical in the snow?

With a forest this beautiful, it’s weird to think there would be this enormous gaping hole in the ground of a dangerous, dare I say, catastrophic sink hole.

We were definitely on the right trail despite being told to go a different way by people who had no idea where we were going, but I digress..

It was pretty chilly but I can’t express how warm this sweater from American Eagle was! I got this from a coat drive, but I did find a similar jacket at JCPenney here!

Well, it was still pretty neat. The idea of a sink hole is actually pretty terrifying. One minute you’re walking in the forest, the next minute you’re being sucked into a sink hole. The rest of the hike was just beautiful snowy trees that would have made Bob Ross proud.
