Hike leisurely down the Spine Trail and traverse the ravine on a suspension bridge. Climb our Canopy Tower to get a birds-eye view of the land – we’ll have friendly docents to guide you at this structure. Meander through hemlock and red-cedar woods and make your way towards Mac’s Pond to scout for ospreys and eagles. Head up the Cemetery Trail and peek in the Mill Worker’s Cabin or head south to explore the more elusive “Lower Loop Trail” full of mossy wonders, maidenhair ferns, and hooty owls.
Heading back to campus, take the Spine Trail north with a visit to the Bird Blind to observe waterfowl and other wildlife. Both treehouses will be open for your visit, too!
If you’ve come before, we welcome you back again. There is always something new to see every season!
- All ages welcome!
- Bring a picnic if you like, pack it in – pack it out. Leave No Trace.
- Many of our trails accommodate strollers and wheelchairs, for more information please ask our Greeters for the best routes to accommodate your party size and abilities upon arrival.
Your health and safety, as well as that of our staff, is our first priority. We’ll be limiting the number of guests walking the trails and will be acting in accordance with current health and safety guidelines. We ask that you do the same, and that you bring a mask to wear to keep you, and those around you, safe.
Service animals only, please. Donations gratefully accepted. Please note, IslandWood’s trail systems will be open this day only for your self-guided exploration.
