Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now
- 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
- 🐕Early mornings are best for dog walks in summer — visit before 9am to avoid the heat and find quieter trails
- ☕The Topiary Restarant — makes this an easy full-day family visit without needing to pack food
