Course Description

This hike is family oriented so children are welcome. We have around 3.5 miles of trails through the woods but there will be places where you can cut your hike shorter and return to the parking area. There are some fairly steep trails up and down but there will be more relatively level trails across and around ridges. All of the trails are cleared and at least 4 feet wide. We have a few Segways available for use by adults with physical limitations. Anyone interested in using a Segway needs to contact me at least on 24 hours prior to arrival and must arrive by 1 pm for training. We also have seating in the hollow around the daylily garden and the creek where you can sit and bird without having to hike the trails at all. Actually some of the best birding on our place has been in the garden. There is also a tent that will supply shelter from the sun.
