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.

We have been to Salem before and done the more traditional Witch tours. This one was so unique and a great amount of time to hold the interest of our 2 children (5 and 8). We learned a lot about the herbs that grow in the woods and can be used medicinally. Really interesting!!

This was a really unique experience and perfect for our group of friends who love nature, herbalism, and esoteric arts! Uni was very knowledgeable, had a good sense of humor, and we really enjoyed her perspectives on witchcraft and its connection to nature. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a Salem experience that is literally off the beaten path!

We found this tour to be interesting and a nice break from the downtown tours. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the tour. I recommend this if you want to learn about Salem wood.
