Seven-year-old Hailey Camara walked one foot in front of the other, suspended above mud pits by wooden beams. Despite the mess, Camara rocked a jean jacket for 61-degree weather at the Smith Farm trails.

"This was her first time on the suspension bridges," said her father, Josh Vieira. The family observed fish and birds while on their April 15 walk.

Nearby, a group of seven ended their day at a picnic table. They'd already walked the Smith Farm trail and Parsons Reserve, explained Jillian Rioux.

The group members were among the more than 700 to visit the daffodil fields at Parsons Reserve, said Park Ranger Morgan Bullard-Hodge.

"They're cool while they're here, but it's such a short window," said Melissa Arruda, a Fall River native visiting the fields with her family.

"We come every year and force them to take pictures," said her friend, Lindsay Sullivan, motioning toward the three children with them.

Photographer Angela Brodeur also used the tourist hotspot as a backdrop. She posed her two daughters behind the flowerbeds.

"Show me your princess face!" she said to the girls. "It's finally gorgeous out. We've been wanting to get them in dresses. This and the flowers," Brodeur said.

Further down the road, Alderbrook Farm was also busy. Guests toured the barn, viewing sheep, donkeys, and geese, while other visitors fit in last-minute grocery shopping before Easter.
