My fiancee and I are saving for our wedding so we have been looking for ways to still have fun and save money at the same time.

This past weekend we went to Herriman State Park, here some information taken directly from the parks website.

“Harriman State Park, located in Rockland and Orange counties, is the second-largest park in the parks system, with 31 lakes and reservoirs, 200 miles of hiking trails”

Overall we had an awesome time. Did some hiking(I only fell in the creek once), did some tent camping and a lot of outdoor cooking.  Overall we spent under $300 including fuel costs($4.29 a gallon), ideally we could have picked a park that wasn’t as far of a drive(this one was 6 hours by car).

Overall we had a ton of fun hiking, and visiting the beautiful lakes and just relaxing away from the computers, TVs and cell phones.
