Make a Random Roxie Reversing Maze

The key to this maze is to make the whole page look visually complicated.
Mazes like this are found in Roxie's six maze books (Mazescapes, Amazement Park, Wild West Trail Ride Maze, Mazeways: A to Z, EcoMazes: 12 Earth Adventures, and Market Maze), two apps (Roxie's a-Maze-ing Vacation Adventure and Roxie's Puzzle Adventure), and KIWi Storybook's "Maze-O-Politan."

You don't have to be an artist to make a random maze...you can draw trees like a lollipop on a stick, or little squares for houses.  Just make lots of them!  It's nice to make a maze with a road, because then you can have people follow the maze on the right side, like we drive here in the USA, and that can create some fun variations.

But for this maze we will take a hike up a mountain from the parking lot to a picnic area, and find our way back on a different path. You should start your maze in pencil,
so you can erase, and later go over the lines in ink.

Starting in the lower left (parking lot),
draw a curving path to picnic spot. Put a sign with an arrow telling folks where to start their trip.
Picture
From the picnic circle, draw the way back to the parking lot (put a sign with an arrow so people won't use the first path). Don’t let the paths intersect.
Picture
Draw in a river, with bridges.
Picture

Where the yellow post-its are, erase the lines and start another path. A couple paths go off the page; one goes to the river and ends in a pier.
Picture
Go over the lines in ink. You can perfect the paths if you want. They should all be approximately the same width.
Picture

Now, we’ll add a few details…cars in the lot, picnic tables, some deer, a boat and a canoe.

Picture
We’re adding trees (easy to draw), to fill space and add complexity.
Picture
Let's put in a beach with umbrellas and people playing volleyball at the crook of the river.
Picture
More trees, evergreens because we’re going up the hill. And another deer or two...
Picture

We’ve added a rocky area, upper right, and people walking along the paths.

Finished!

See the answer below.

You can make a bigger maze, and add some buildings, more false paths, more animals, more boats, and more people. The more complex the path and the drawing, the harder it will be to solve. Just make sure that the paths don't connect...
if they cross, make a bridge or a tunnel to separate them.
