Features

Stone House

Dr. Reinstein built the stone house in 1965 as a summer
home on the shore of Flattail Lake.

Nature Play Area

A place for free-form nature play, where kids can explore
and build with tree branches.

Deer Exclosures

White-tailed deer are abundant here and eat most of the
tree seedlings and ground-cover plants in this forest.
Deer exclosures protect young trees from deer and
promote forest regeneration. Many of the exclosures were
constructed by Boy Scouts for their Eagle Scout projects.
