Walk the dirt roads in the reserved part of the Backcountry Wilderness Area and you’ll forget you’re only 15 minutes from home. Grab a coffee – and bring binoculars if you want to spot local wildlife – for a relaxed, guided excursion. Fresh air and a scenic view make this jaunt to improve health and nature know-how a perfect way to spend your mid-morning. Free, but registration is required. Wellness Walks are supported by the Backcountry Conservation and Education Fund nonprofit.
