About This Trail

Imported description

A trail that you have never seen before. There are thousands of painted rocks in this fairy forest. This is a very short walk, and you can jump across the river to a fairy paradise. Boys will have the same fun looking around as the girls. The local forest service has been pushing to get the Fairy Forest Trail cleaned up. Over time, painted rocks and things from the city degrade. Over 100 large bags of garbage have been removed from this location. Leaving things behind is not good for the environment. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the unique rock trails and to use the natural materials present.
