Cook's Canyon Wildlife Sanctuary
The sanctuary has two adjoining
parcels—Cook’s Canyon and
Williams Woods—that can be
explored on its quarter-mile trail,
which leads you through scenic
meadowlands and a forest.
During the fall foliage season,
bring your binoculars or spotting
scope to look out over the
spectacular wooded ravine,
brook, and waterfall.
