Parks & Nature
We (and our dog) love Kennedy Park. There are trails for every ability level. Park at the Arcadian Shop, grab a trail map from the shop, and meander down Woolsey (the main, wide, carriage trail that runs through the center of Kennedy Park). Go in the morning, walk through the fog, and whistle along with the birds above you. 500+ acres of well marked, intersecting trails.

The farmhouse is essentially at the bottom of October Mountain State Forest. Follow our road to the left, and you'll wind up at the campground. In the summer, there's camping and hiking. In the winter, there's snowshoeing and cross country skiing. There are trail maps at the service building.
