Winding Trails is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to preservation and stewardship of our 380 acres of natural woodlands and waterways. Our mission statement specifies that Winding Trails is dedicated to the conservation and stewardship of the natural woodlands and waterways that allow outdoor programming, character development, and other activities that strengthen the lives of those we serve. We are dedicated to conservation and preservation so generations to come can benefit from all that nature has to offer.

As you enter the property you are immediately welcomed by the beautiful pristine 80 acre Dunning Lake. This is arguable our number one resource and where the majority of our friends spend their summer swimming, fishing, boating, and picnicking. We do monthly water testing in the summer to ensure that the lake is in the best health possible. 

Dunning Lake is our largest, most popular natural resource. We have carefully and thoughtfully designed a 10-year master plan to alleviate some congestion and solve some long standing issues at our beautiful beach.

As you make your way further into the property you will come to the camp area with sports fields, pavilions, and buildings. From here you must exit your car and get on foot or bike and truly begin to explore the rustic beauty of the area with its 12.5 miles of trails, Walton Pond, wildlife, and Nature's Porch.

Our forest and trails are constantly monitored ensuring that all paths are safe and free of large debris. We keep an eye out for all wildlife and strive to create habitats that are suitable for all of our woodland critters needs. There are sections of the forest that are designated as Wildlife Sanctuary due to the high amount of biodiversity in these areas. When you are hiking on Main Street, you will notice signs for Wildlife Sanctuaries. In these areas, we ask that you keep noise to a minimum to decrease disruption to our furry friends. These areas are also home to many different plant species. We are proud to play a role in the conservation of the flora and fauna on the property. 

We welcome you to check out our trails and all that we have to offer here at Winding Trails!
