Feathernest Forest (Brooksong)

Right across the street from the climbing side of Pawtuckaway State Park, tucked in the woods of southern New Hampshire is Feathernest Forest at Mizpah Farms. Here on our cozy little family farm between the Magical Marsh and the Blueberry Bog. We raise lots of wild things - like children...but also our own meat, eggs, and sometimes dairy. We currently have ducks, geese, chickens, and rabbits. It's a bit wild and unfinished 'round the edges...but then, so are we. 

Brooksong site is located in the back of one of our rock strewn wooded pastures here at Feathernest Forest. It is right on the edge of Merry Marsh with Babbling Brook running along behind it and even has its own wild blueberry bush. Both Brooksong and the Fern Dance site are visible from each other but far enough away to make each site a cozy little haven. Brooksong has its own picnic table, 12' x 12' tent platform filled with wood chips, fire ring, benches, a string of softly glowing solar LED lights, and a hammock. It shares a porta potty, a bathhouse platform with NON POTABLE WATER for hand and dish washing, a large thermos filled with fresh drinking water daily, and a parking area with the Fern Dance site. 

Both the Bath House platform and Parking Area are illumined with a strand of glowing solar powered LED lights.
