Important Tips

  • The entire forest is a non-smoking property for health and safety reasons.
  • Weather can change suddenly in the forest—we recommend layering with a warm jacket and long pants.
  • Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes as the forest trails can be wet and steep in some places.
  • The forest is incredibly peaceful, but cell phone service can be unreliable.
  • We have walking sticks, hand-warmers, and umbrellas in case the weather takes a turn for the worse.
  • Please save these directions as service on the way to the forest may be unreliable.
