Welcome to our Visitor Guide. You can browse our properties using the map, or scroll down to filter by region or recreational activity. Featured forests (blue pins) are the best for recreation and they typically have parking areas, mapped trails, and more detailed information. All of our protected forests are open to the public. You can also search by property name or town.

Bretzfelder Park

The central focus of Bretzfelder Park is a giant white pine tree, estimated to be more than 200 years old. In the late 1800s, when Bethlehem was a haven for city folks seeking the clean air of the mountains, the tree became a popular place for visitors, who would wander down the quiet road and relax beneath the tree's branches, enjoying picnics in the quiet beauty of the forest.
