Take a Hike Out on the Boardwalk!
Spring is the perfect time to take a hike on our trails! Nervous about going out into the woods? Don't be! Our trails are marked with white blazes (white painted rectangles on trees) and you can go out for an hour or the day! Download our trail map here, pack a snack, and get out there!
The boardwalk in this photo is on the John Ross Trail that has trail heads on Pie Hill Road and East Street South. It is a moderately easy hike (hills are not difficult and although there is some rock hopping, the trail is well marked) that leads you through hemlock forests, open marsh, along the river and above a steep canyon.
