Adams Lake State Park


This baby Painted Turtle, Chrysemys picta, probably just crawled out of his/her nest at Adams Lake State Park in West Union when some local children spotted her on the ground. After some gentle inspections, the turtle was released safely into the water. Adams Lake State Park is still open from dawn until dusk during the quarantine shut-down. Please be respectful of others and keep a safe distance apart of at least six feet. We want authorities to keep the park open due to good visitor behavior that maintains the good health of our community.
