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.

This was a lovely walk in the forest, led by a knowledgeable and passionate guide. There are rocks and small hills, some steep places, and some muddy spots (after a hard rain yesterday). It may be difficult to explore if you need an assistive device. Wear comfy thick sole shoes and bring a walking stick if you have one. Definitely recommend. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!

Eunie was very sweet and knowledgeable! We really enjoyed our time in the woods. She made sure we were taken care of (brought ponchos, waters, first aid, etc). She took us through different elements of witchcraft while relating it back to nature and the magic of Salem woods. This may have been our favorite tour we took in Salem - it was great getting out of the downtown area and exploring nature!

The guide was great! I definitely wanted more info but of course didn't come up with my questions until after it was over. It's a good tour. Be sure you wear sturdy shoes.
