With picturesque scenery, leisurely trails and herds of deer and ponies roaming freely, Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary is a fantastic place to visit for all the family. There’s even a purpose-built deer viewing platform, where you can watch the deer being fed.

There was a lot going on around the parking lot. Hundreds of families used the picnic area in the forest and populated an ice cream truck. Once in the forest, however, we hardly met anyone - but also no animals except squirrels.
