Our first snowfall made an early arrival in October and after months of winter it’s time for warmer weather and outdoor fun! Don’t let the pandemic prevent you from enjoying the outdoors and discovering the many forests surrounding us.
Discover the Forest is a great resource to find parks and trails anywhere in the U.S. Simply enter an address, city or zipcode and discover easy, family-friendly activities for enjoying the outdoors while social distancing. Not only does the site provide hiking and biking trails at local forests and parks, but it provides a list of activities such as identifying trees, studying nature, geocaching and learning to navigate – with ways to filter your activity due to a rainy day, free and last minute activities.
