20210807 – Goll Woods State Nature Preserve

Date: 08/07/2021 – Distance: 3.6 mi – Elapsed Time: 1.5 hr – Ascent: 115 ft – Descent: 56 ft – Difficulty: Easy

Goll Woods escaped cultivation from early settlers and remains uncut and has some huge trees, some over 400 years old. There are also some rare wildflowers here and remnants of the Great Black Swamp which cover more than 1500 square miles in this region. With that comes mosquitoes, and let me assure you, they are no joke here. I had to break out the head net in addition to my permethrin treated clothing and the picaradin on my skin. The were still unbearable.
