Just a quick 15 minute drive from our house, is a 140-acre privately-owned forest, open to the public for self guided exploration.
5 miles of trails crisscross the woodland, connecting a variety of habitats and forestry demonstrations.
Tegan saw a bear!
The Everett Hall can be rented for parties....we need to have a party, it looks nice in there!!
There was so much to see and sniff.
The trails are super!
