Enter the world of fairies and gnomes!

Step into a world of quiet magic within the Enchanted Forest, a guided or self-guided forest walk filled with wonder at every turn. As you wander beneath the trees, keep your eyes open for tiny, hidden homes tucked into stumps, nestled among roots, and peeking out from mossy corners. Each one is thoughtfully crafted, hinting at the secret lives of fairies and gnomes who may be just out of sight.

“Builders” create fairy or gnome homes, establishing a whimsical neighborhood of small structures built out of natural materials from the environment.  

On May 3rd, join one of our guided hikes for a magical exploration in the forest seeking mythical creatures, or visit on your own time to explore the magic.
