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
🐄Summer visits here combine well with a walk along nearby trails — the animals are most active in the morning.
🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days
