The Whiting Forest is a pleasant enough stroll ... but it's really nothing special. Despite the fences, restrictive hours and controlled access, it's really no more interesting than many nature areas that one can hike for free.

My husband and I visited in late May and enjoyed wandering through the forest on a hot day. There are wooden structures you can find that kids can play in (including a "no boys only" fort!) and some ponds that really look like reflecting pools.

This is a gem of a place where you will learn about a local woodland setting without every realizing it. Great for kids and families. The building is also available for special parties.

A great place to take kids for a romp in the woods and learn about nature. The meeting area is very nice for informal parties. They have a nice kitchen area but you can use local caterers. Very reasonable and also helpful. Really nice people to work with and very clean facilities.
