About this Event

Feeling cooped up from the late fall drearies? Been in the kitchen too much this week? Come and stretch your legs and get some fresh air at IslandWood. The only lines you'll see at our Black Friday are the ones full of ducks in our pond and sapling hemlocks growing on nurse logs.

Our trail systems will be open this day only for your self-guided exploration. Hike leisurely down the Spine Trail and traverse the ravine on a suspension bridge. Any woolly bear caterpillar sitings on our trails? Late fall means cones, crunchy leaves, and bronze bracken ferns that line our trails. Can you find the biggest, bigleaf maple leaf?

Meander through hemlock and red-cedar woods and make your way towards Mac's Pond to scout for ospreys and eagles. They love to soar overhead at this spot! Head up the Cemetery Trail and peek in the Mill Worker's Cabin or head south to explore the more elusive "Lower Loop Trail" full of mossy wonders, maidenhair ferns, and hooty owls. Heading back to campus, take the Spine Trail north and weave around the cattail marsh, stopping at the Bird Blind to observe waterfowl and other wildlife. Both treehouses and our Forest Canopy Tower will be open for your visit, too!
