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
🚴Start cycling visits early on summer days — trails are best before the heat builds via Route 6
🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days
