I love this tree. The paper birch is such a unique tree. It stands out and can be spotted from across the forest. This is a tall tree that reaches above the canopy and really sticks out among several other species, deep in the forest.

Marvelous and striking, this unmistakable tree produces white, paper-thin bark and green leaves that provide sustenance for local deer.

  • Sun-loving species
  • Can be tapped in the spring for its sap, which is made into beer, syrup, wine or vinegar
  • Mature trees are known for their beautiful white bark that can be peeled from the trunk in thin, paper-like sheets
  • Displays a stunning array of golden leaves in the fall

  • Easily reach this section, yet feel deep in the woods – with the best mountain views
  • Enjoy a diverse mix of trees, including some of the tallest and oldest sugar maples
  • Spot abundant wildlife like deer, bears, foxes and more, along with vibrant blooms in spring

Maplewood Ridge runs parallel to Mountainview Meadow and contains the most diverse mix of tree species in the entire forest. Some of the largest and oldest sugar maples can be found here.

As you walk deeper into the forest, the terrain becomes more rugged and rises up from the meadow on a gentle slope, evoking a feeling of being deep in the woods. 

An easy five minute walk from the Welcome House, Maplewood Ridge is the most conveniently located section of the forest.
