Visiting this summer

Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

  • 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
  • 🥾Walking is best here in early morning in summer — quiet trails and good light before the heat — E2 hiking trail Birmingham passes nearby
  • 🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days
