Lincoln Brick Park

Ah….my trusty Lincoln Brick Park. What was once an old brick factory is now a popular destination for hiking and photography. Truthfully, I have photographed here more than anywhere else and probably owe half my career to the park manager. It’s a great location if you’re bound to a single location, as it has forests, fields and brick. There’s even a quarry down a short hike - although I can’t promise there’s not people fishing and swimming in it.
