Quiet, compact forest with hemlock stands, rocky outcrops and small streams — ideal for intimate forest and seasonal foliage shots. Best in spring for fresh greens, autumn for vivid color, and at golden hour for soft side-light through trunks. Trails are informal; parking is roadside near trailheads in New Hampton. No fees, low crowds; expect uneven footing and limited facilities.
