THERE’ S STILL TIME TO GET OUTSIDE!
Experience the beauty of the woods in fall with a trip to Kane Woods Nature Area. This unique area is a nature conservancy located in Scott Township that offers a wonderful opportunity for hiking, bird watching, photography and more.
All seasons are special at Kane Woods, but fall is especially beautiful when the trees come alive with color! Even the animals become more active as the temperature cools, with deer, wild turkeys, turtles and foxes possibly crossing your path. You might also catch them taking a drink from the woodland stream.
