    Denbigh Experimental Forest Dispersed

    Inaccessible

    Overgrown with dense two foot tall grass, could not find a place to park or even turn my little car around. I use a walker and need to car camp so maybe folks on foot will have a great experience. I had to reroute my trip.

    Denbigh Experimental Forest Dispersed

    Beautiful and fascinating but…

    I loved this area. It really has the imagination going and seeing all the different kinds of trees planted in close range was very compelling. Beautifully maintained trails and a small network of unpaved roads. I took a delightful bike ride with my dogs and we really enjoyed this location. However, to say that we became infested with ticks is damn near an understatement. If ticks bother you (in this amount of tips would bother anyone) I do not recommend coming to this spot. I am not sure when tick season ends but if you are going to go go in the ticks are dead. It was hard for me to dock this place a star, but because of the ticks that is why I did so.

    Best part is it’s free, there isn’t much traffic, plenty of room. Pets allowed. Someone might be here to greet you, but probably not.
