Word of warning: animals can be dangerous. Do NOT feed or approach them.
Hunting is NOT allowed on our property.
Trails are open from dawn until dusk. Trails are CLOSED dusk to dawn.
For your safety, do not hike alone; carry water, a small protein snack, your cellphone and bring a copy of our map with you.
Take only photos and memories … leave only footprints.
