Fern Haven is an immersive wilderness experience. You reach it by hiking a wooded path through lush ferns and a swath of diverse trees that create a dense forest canopy. 

Deep in the woods with trails winding through gentle slopes, this section offers a sense of privacy. It’s perfect for enjoying moments of quiet reflection.

The middle of the section borders a steep natural preserve, protecting habitat for local wildlife.

The trees on the section’s eastern edge have filtered lake views.
