In the Winter and Spring this place is wet, muddy, and stark. Bare, spindly trees grope at the sky with long skeletal limbs. The effect is quite ghostly until the first buds begin to appear as the cold season recedes. In the Summer and Fall it is damp, dank, and dark. The leaves now form a dense canopy overhead which effectively blocks most of the sunlight.
Mosquitoes swarm over any warm creature silly enough to enter their domain.
Ripe pawpaws hang from the trees high above, just out of reach. Well, first of all, few people do. It's a quiet, solitary place, conducive to meditative walks. It is home to a wide array of flora and fauna that you will have difficulty finding elsewhere in one place. At the time of this writing, the wildflowers are in full spring bloom.
