With miles of trails on logging roads and side trails
Spring time brings blooms on the Mountain Laurel along the streams and pathways,
Fall has a spectacular view of colorful valleys and incredible leaf colors.
Winter snows brings the snowmobiles out to enjoy the specific trails,
Summer, the magnificent Rhododendrons are in bloom late June. While you are enjoying their beauty, you will be sharing the trails with bikers, hikers, dog walkers, horseback riders and various wildlife including deer, black bear, wild turkey, porcupine, coyotes, fox, snakes, geckos, spotted salamanders, chipmunks and squirrles...just to name a few.
This area is a flyway for migratory birds and raptors. There are various hunting seasons to be aware of throughout the year and please wear orange to be visible during those times. Horses are not permitted during specific hunting days so please check the current hunting schedule. And of course there are quite a number of caches hidden throughout the roads and trails.
So Let's Take A Hike... will be a series of hides that may eventually take you up to the Fire Tower Area, where there is a large parking lot, but for now parking near this hide will work.
The third hide in the series... hope you are enjoying the area!!!
