Hiking
In order to get to Forest Nature Area, you must first go through Parker Mills County Park. You will go under a bridge and follow a wooden boardwalk back into the 17 acre wood. This area is very unique as it hosts a large variety of wetland wildflowers, so it is advised to visit in the spring or early summer to see the plants in full bloom.
