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 loved our tour guide, the mushroom witch Euni, and her bard was great too! We learned so much and this was clearly a very well thought out tour. I love learned about natural remedies and Euni was a wealth of information on the topic. The trail she chose was very doable and we didn’t get tired at any point. Highly recommend!

Booked this tour when visiting Salem for the weekend with my sister and daughter. Our guide Uni was great. Very professional and articulate! I was impressed with her wealth of knowledge.
