Henry Clay Furnace
A 19th‑century iron furnace ruin set in mixed hardwood forest — photogenic stone masonry, smokestack fragments and mossy textures framed by seasonal foliage. Best at golden hour or in low fog for mood; autumn brings rich color. Access via Clay Furnace Trail (short, moderately uneven hike). Free parking at trailhead; no entry fee. Wear boots, expect ticks and mud after rain. Avoid busy summer weekends for solitude and cleaner frames. Check local rules before using a drone.
