Gnome Forest

This beautiful 3.2 km trail is considered easy and is fantastic for a quick, low-effort hike. It is nicknamed the Gnome Forest and is a winding path that takes you past multiple small creeks and some modest hills.

The forest floor is covered with moss, so when it is sunny, it is a very magical and scenic experience.
