Further Insights Lib has pretty nice trails, it is maybe half a mile to the river from the parking lot.
There are some shallow backwaters on the left trail that dry up when there is a large absence of rain. If you go to the river, there is a big sandbar, kind of by the beautiful powerlines crossing overhead!
It is a kinda nice spot to relax if you're stressed out. It is a nice photo spot if you can digitally remove the powerlines somehow. Too much of a task for my undertaking now I'm afraid.
