When you rent the Lodge, you are allowed to enjoy the Herb Garden (and cut available herbs), check out the Permaculture Garden, and walk the Retreat Center Grounds. Please close all gates behind you and please do not harvest any fruit/vegetables without permission. We also ask that you ask us first before walking or hiking on the Nature Trail at the Campground, in the event we have another party occupying the Campground.
When you rent the Campground, the 1.2 mile Nature Trail loop is also available for your exploration. Varied in terrain and ecosystem, this trail includes both intermediate and advanced hikes. You can take it easy or get a cardio workout. The Sunset Overlook at dusk is a must. If you wish to receive more guidance on the Nature Trail, please contact Trish. We also ask that you ask us first before walking on the Retreat Center Grounds at the Willow Springs Lodge, in the event we have another party renting the Lodge.
If you would enjoy an educational tour of the Nature Trail or Retreat Center Gardens, contact Trish in advance for her availability: 530-615-9054.
