The Elwood Forest has an enchanted looking appearance with it's thick-trunked, moss-covered trees with twisted branches and stunning green leaves that change to oranges and reds during the fall months. Spaces between these branches allow for the sunlight to stretch downwards toward the ground in scattered beams of light. Smaller bushes and trees sway in the breeze as typical forest life scurries across the root-covered dirt. In the evenings, thousands of lightning bugs have been known to light up the area with their magnificent shows almost as if this forest was snatched right out of a fairy tale.
