This enchanting forest is beautiful in all seasons. Bundle up and check it out under a fresh blanket of snow to really feel peaceful solitude that comes with the silence of an early winter morning.

The sandy soil that lines the forest floor means that it’s very rarely muddy, which makes it a true all-season hiking and camping destination.

There are primitive sites throughout the forest where you’ll be able to pitch your tent and grill up some grub any time of year.

The forest features more than just trees, and part of what makes it so magical is that you’ll have so much time to explore it all. Follow the creek, and see where it leads you!

You’ll discover a hidden pond deep in the forest, too. It’s the perfect place to have a picnic or just relax and listen to the frogs croaking in the spring, summer, and fall.
