Join us for a leisurely paced, easy hike (approximately 3 miles, 350 feet gain), along the Main Loop Trail of this mature Lake Whatcom watershed forest. We will walk through the quiet of a towering forest, over streams and past ponds. We may have multiple brief stops, as there is potential to see a wide variety of animals, mature trees, ferns, mosses and fungi. This beautiful forest reserve is the result of the generous gift from the Stimpson Family, plus collaboration of various community partnerships and public entities.
