Sunfox is happy to announce that numerous hiking trails have been created amidst our property. As with any outdoor activity, please exercise caution. Proper footwear is suggested, and check for ticks on you or your dog. The Blissville Brook Trail starts at the small footbridge located at the base of the hill near our entrance, and includes some added Fairy Houses and natural decoration (please feel free to add, but don’t disturb what others have created). You can also access the Kendall Hill path from there (which ends between sites 71 & 72 near the pool), noting that the large Beaver Pond on Kendall Road is not part of the campground (but the Disc Golf course is for our campers). The other trails start near the lodge, across the bridge. The trails are shown on the PDF map link here. Sunfox Trails V3
