Photos of the exercise station
signs are at the bottom of this story -
BFR invites Icon viewers to take two walks around the Buckeye - it's about a one miles hike. Along the way you will find exercise stations to enhances your walk. These required no extra exercise equipment.
Daniel Tinch, Bluffton Family Recreation executive director, set up the stations for residents.
Walkers who start near the Main Street shelter house will see the first sign indicating Station 1. There are six signs offering 12 total exercise workouts when traveling twice around the quarry.
Here’s what you’ll find in the first lap.
