Join Ranger Dylan for a guided hike down Turkey Call trail to view the colors of Fall from the Observation Tower. We will traverse through the hardwood forest of Big Hill Pond to the observation tower. Here you can view the fall foliage for miles above the tree tops. Some fall color is expected at this time.

The trail is roughly 2 miles long with moderate terrain. We suggest guests bring water, bug spray, and wear sturdy shoes.
