The grounds are open to the public year-round from 8:00 a.m. to sunset.
Sixteen miles of hiking trails connect with three main day use areas of
the center: Pine Plantation Day Use Area, Pond Day Use Area and Mansion
Day Use Area. A 32-room stone mansion on the mountaintop houses the
center's office and the training center. The office is open weekdays from
8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and weekends and evenings when a public program is
scheduled. A schedule of programs is available from the center office or
at the three day use areas.
The mansion serves as the William C. Forrey Training Center for the
Commonwealth, providing meals and overnight lodging for government
agencies. The comfortable surroundings make it an ideal location for
productive work sessions and meetings. The training center has a maximum
day use capacity for 45 people and accommodates 23 people overnight.
Directions:
The center's entrance is on Pine Road, one mile east of the Huntsdale
Fish Hatchery. From Interstate 81, take Exit 37. At the exit, travel south
on Route 233 about 2.5 miles. Turn left onto Pine Road and continue 2.5
miles. The entrance to the center is on the right.
