The woods are a magical place anytime of the year. Hike with a ranger on the Clyburn Hollow Trail and discover possible home sites for fairies and imps in these magical woods. Sit for a spell and create your own fairy house. Come back on a later date and find out if a fairy has moved in! This will be a gentle hike, no more than one mile, as we look for possible fairy house materials along the way. Bring water and snacks.
