Nice forest

Went here for part of the Sky's the Limit 2022 challenge. It was a quick 1/2 mile walk. We went through the Garden area first and then along the Discovery trail and looped back around to the parking lot. The garden was pretty and everything was labeled and there were 2 little ponds in the garden area. The Discovery trail was more wooded and the smell of the pine needles covering the trail was so nice. The trail looped around by a big pond with a bunch of viewing points and the parking lot had a great vantage point to see it as well. A lovely walk, nice and easy.

Beautiful trails in a peaceful and tranquil setting. Most trails are well-maintained, but still rugged. We especially love the 10K race held here each summer.

Questions & Answers

Are the family fun walks accessable for wheel chairs or walkers

Though none of Goodwin’s trails are wheelchair or really walker accessible, we do have the airline trail running through Goodwin, so we could take that route if it’s something the individual is comfortable with. I’d recommend checking out our section of the airline trail to see if it’s suitable for your equipment. Call the Center if you’d like to chat about it further!

Why are they cutting the trees down

I beleive this is to clear out diseased trees which allows healthy ones to grow or be planted in their place.
