Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now
- 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
- 🚴Start cycling visits early on summer days — trails are best before the heat builds via NCN 51
- 🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days
