Forest Trails & Hiking
Follow the painted signs, find the quiet places, and get to know the forest one bend at a time. Our interconnected paths invite you to wander through a 35-acre certified forest, toward the creek, around the pond, and alongside the living edges of the land.
The trail that embraces the forest
Luna’s Loop
Luna’s Loop circles the entire 35-acre certified forest. The route travels alongside the road, follows the creek, traces the border of the neighboring nature preserve, and eventually reconnects with the road.
In some stretches you can glimpse the road through the trees. In many others, the woodland feels tucked away from everything beyond it. Luna’s Loop is the outer trail that helps tie our interior paths together.
Follow the painted trail signs and enjoy the shifting views of the forest throughout the seasons.
Choose your way through the woods
Bubba’s Paw Paw Trail
Bubba’s Paw Paw Trail connects the heart of the woods with several ways to keep exploring. Take it down toward the creek, follow it up toward the outer Luna’s Loop, or use its connection to reach Loki’s Labyrinth Trail.
Rather than a single out-and-back, this trail opens up a web of woodland choices. Listen for birds, notice the pawpaw understory, and let the wayfinding signs guide your next turn.
A path between our gathering places
Loki’s Labyrinth Trail
Beginning near the Daffodil Renewal Labyrinth and Princess Leia’s Pond, Loki’s Labyrinth Trail leads down toward the creek and connects back to the outer Luna’s Loop.
Just after entering Loki’s Labyrinth Trail, look immediately to your right for the turn onto Ramp, There It Is! Trail. You can also connect with Bubba’s Paw Paw Trail as you explore the woods.

Special places along the way
Pondside Pauses & Forest Discoveries
Princess Leia’s Pond
The pond and nearby Daffodil Renewal Labyrinth are special places to begin or end a walk, pause near the water, and notice the wildlife and seasons.
Persimmon’s Patch
One of the named places on the Wild Indigo land. As you explore, look for the forest’s native persimmon and pawpaw stories, and enjoy the quiet character of this woodland.
Ramp, There It Is! Trail
A branching woodland path reached by taking the immediate right just after entering Loki’s Labyrinth Trail. Follow the trail markers as you explore.
The Creek
Several trails lead toward the creek corridor, where the sounds and textures of the forest shift with the water and the seasons. Banks and approaches may be sloped, wet, or uneven.
Enjoy the forest with care
A Few Notes Before You Wander
- Trails are natural woodland paths, not paved sidewalks. Expect roots, rocks, leaves, slopes, and changing footing, especially near the creek.
- Wear sturdy shoes and dress for the season. Trails can be muddy and slippery after rain.
- Stay on established routes, respect the nature preserve boundary, and leave plants, fungi, and wildlife undisturbed.
- Carry out what you bring in and give yourself time to find your way back before dark.
