点评:I have only visited the Canopy Walk, within the Whiting Forest. It is one of my favorite things to do during Fall. The structure is beautifully and safely made, plenty of space to walk and use wheelchairs if necessary. The views of the forest and the apple orchards are amazing. For Halloween they have added a few dinosaurs that make the walk more entertaining for kids.
Tip 1: the cafe that used to be located towards the end of the canopy walk has been moved to the Dow Gardens Welcome Center. The structure will now be used for events. Good idea although it is disappointing…there is no place on that part of the park to have a drink or grab a snack. Restrooms are also closed as of October 2026, perhaps for the season?
Tip 2 : if going to the Canopy Walk it is best to park at the Whiting Forest “Education Center” entrance.
Tip 3: there is a limited number of wheelchairs at the park. If you need one: call ahead and let them know where you want to pick it up (Dow Gardens or Education Center)
Tip 4: park personnel pick up fallen apples in the orchard and place them near the Education Center, overlooking the bridge that connects with the rest of the Dow Gardens. Sometimes they also have pears! You can grab as many as you want for free!
翻译:我只去过惠廷森林里的树冠步道。这是我在秋天最喜欢做的事情之一。这座步道建造得既美观又安全,空间充裕,必要时也可供轮椅通行。从那里俯瞰森林和苹果园的景色简直美不胜收。万圣节期间,他们还增添了几只恐龙模型,让这条步道对孩子们来说更加有趣。
小贴士1:原本位于树冠步道尽头的咖啡馆现已迁至道园林区游客中心。这座建筑现在将用于举办活动。是个不错的主意,不过有点遗憾的是……公园的那块区域没有可以喝东西或吃点小食的地方。另外,洗手间也自2026年10月起关闭了,也许是因为季节原因吧?
提示2:如果要去树冠步道,最好把车停在惠廷森林“教育中心”入口处。
提示3:公园里提供的轮椅数量有限。如需领取:请提前打电话告知他们您想在哪里取货(道氏花园或教育中心)。
小贴士4:公园工作人员会把果园里掉落的苹果收集起来,放在教育中心附近,那里可以俯瞰连接道氏花园其他区域的桥梁。有时那里还有梨哦!您可以随意免费取用!
