Jennifer's guidebook (with the dog's advice)
Sightseeing
This spot is a treasure. A beautiful oasis for wildflowers and many birds just a couple of miles from our home. We've seen ducks with their fuzzy babies in the water--bats flying around at dusk--there's a great, big tree which has been climbed by 1000 kids. A very serene place, where you can stroll with a friend and remember the sweetness of life.

We have a railroad right here in Woodfin! One of our best secrets! It's not a long ride, so a perfect family event. The people who started this adventure did so from the sheer joy of trains. You'll have a great time, and be sure to check out holiday events at Christmas!

Neighborhoods
What an amazing place to land. We have a history of growing up around the old mill--- the present day neighborhood goes along the riverside up into the nearby mountains. You'll find that Woodfin is super dog-friendly and kid-friendly.

Active and Fun
Top pick from the dog. An expansive park with fenced in areas for small dogs and for big dogs to gather and socialize. So much fun and just a few miles from our house.
