Experience a natural forest only one-half mile from the 24 Oak Lane cabin. Featuring 38 Acres of wild forest with birch, hardwoods, hemlock and towering white pines. Near the cabin we have young apple and pear trees, hazelnut and raspberry bushes, grape vines, and the start of raised beds and a small Hugel mound. Pollinator gardens with native and flowering species support the abundant wildlife, including song birds, turkey, woodpecker, hawks, owls, and white-tailed deer.
Property is available by invitation for current guests of the Oak Lane Cabin, please contact owner in advance of visit.
2026 Update: the yellow trail near the cabin is blocked by a large pine and another fallen pine halfway up the trail. Prepare to climb over or go around these obstacles. The green trail is clear.
Trails are well marked but this is still a wild forest, use caution, stay on trails.
One-way distances on the map below, Green 1000 Feet, Yellow 1200 Feet, Red 2500 Feet.
