Last week Maggi Stuehrmann introduced readers to the County's newest park, Wolf's Hollow County Park, just 7 minutes southwest of Parkesburg.
The park opened in December of 2010 and features 569 acres, two thirds of which are wooded, bounded
on the north and west sides by the Octoraro Creek and laced throughout with 7 miles of hiking trails.
Wolf's Hollow draws its name from the late 1700's when noted poet and county judge Wilmer W. MacElree, great-grandfather to current Chester County President Judge James P. MacElree II, wrote:

"Fully to answer to its name, there is needed only … the figure of a lone wolf stealthily pursuing its way eastward by a stony path toward a point where the edge of the wood touches the sheep lands of some adjacent family."
Chester County plans to install picnic areas and other amenities throughout the park beginning in 2012. For now visitors to the park can enjoys its scenic beauty by foot along one of the park's well marked trails.
To that end a topographical map laying out the trails is below.
