About Pack Demonstration Forest
Pack Demonstration Forest offers beautiful, dark trails under a fairly dense canopy. It is a great place for an easy hike to enjoy nature, with a lovely winding stream, lots of trees, and wide flat sections. Visitors can find a very old tree, over 300 years old, and see lots of natural mushrooms. There are educational signs, lakes, ponds, and mountain views from the higher trail. The forest provides quiet, peaceful time and is good for foraging plants and moss. Some trail areas can be muddy or have obstacles, and the access road is bumpy. A few spots may be challenging for strollers, but it remains a lovely and breathtaking destination.

This place is great. We didn’t see anybody else on the trails. Other than summer camp staff when we walked through to get to the mountain trail. The forest is beautiful. Lots of lakes/ponds. A bit of history. A very old tree. And Mountain views if you make the trek up.

Beutiful dark trails with fairly dense canopy. Lots of natural mushrooms of various colors. A 300+ year old pine tree. Great place to hike if you are looking for fairly easy trails where you can just enjoy the nature.
