There are wildflowers in bloom at Maxwell Farms, but what's really amazing are the blackberries. They're so thick they're threatening to cover some of the trails. This is good news if you plan to bring a bucket in the next few weeks, bad news if you're part of the park staff trying to eradicate the overgrowth.
The meadow is quite dry. Areas along the trails bordering the meadow have been plowed to reduce the potential fire danger. But the creek is clear and inviting and waders are often seen there.
Maxwell Farms is a great place to bring a picnic - packed from home or purchased from nearby shops.
