Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now
- 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
- ☀️Summer family visits work well here — arrive early and plan for a longer stay
- 🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days
