Salem Forest Lore Tour

Overview

Unlike any walking tour in Salem, the Forest Lore Tour takes you outside the heart of downtown and into one of the few remaining wild places in the area, where you learn from a practicing Witch, what it means to experience real magic, why nature is so important, and how to incorporate ancient knowledge into modern life.

Wear your hiking boots and bring your curiosity! This is a one-mile, guided hike that takes to you the crossroads of science, history, and philosophy in Salem Woods. Rain or shine, but we can't operate in snow due to trail conditions.

The Mushroom Witch’s forest walk was exactly what we were looking for in a tourist-filled Salem. It’s something a little different and Euni provided some excellent information about mushrooms and plants and local lore, and yet still left us all wanting to know more. She even stuck around to answer all of our questions, from local recs to witchy wonderings, AND spread the gospel about responsible foraging and native plants. Knowledgeable, fun, and engaging — crystals included. Yes, by all means do whichever spooky ghost tour around town, but hang out with a real Witch in Salem Woods and you’ll learn things. Highly recommend.
