A roughly 29-acre conservation forest on the west side of Lake Mansfield Road, across from the beach, extending toward Christian Hill Road. A quarter-mile accessible loop trail with a crushed-stone surface winds through the woods; it is a walk-in extension of the Lake Mansfield Recreation Area, not a swim spot itself.
