Unsurprisingly in freezing temperatures we had the whole campground to ourselves. Lovely quiet forest the next day, encountering just a few pleasant people and horses. Got super lucky and the storm forecast for the afternoon held off, so we had quite pleasant winter weather all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve never been to this forest before, and liked it a lot. Completely non-technical and flat (there are actually ADA accessible trails here), but several good length loops of enjoyable singletrack and doubletrack. Must be a mad house in summer, but very peaceful this weekend. Lots of lakes and marshes, which were especially scenic frozen over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
