Just to the south of this point in the road, there's a pretty little pond. To the north is the turnoff to walk to Bear Branch Nature Center, the heart of education in Hashawha Environmental Center. It's open five days a week with hands-on education exhibits, an observation beehive, live animals, staff on hand, and even a planetarium and observatory.
