| Northern Water Snake. Non-venemous. |
The hard part came when we tried to find an entrance to Latimer Woods. After circling about, we had to ask the internet how to enter the woods. The Reddit people came up with a response and we headed into an apartment complex and eventually found the trail past the pool and behind a multi-car garage structure. People, maybe let's work on signage for this public preserve.
The good news is that Latimer Woods is an old growth forest, which means it contains "150 to 200 year old trees!!!!" The trees didn't disappoint. I took several photos and felt a delightful sense of natural history walking around in there. Shout out to Clarence and Lizzie Latimer for protecting these trees, and to your children for handing over this eden to the citizens of our great town.
As I've previously mentioned, Husbandman and I are considering donating our property to our local land trust. Out back right now are several deer, some hyper chipmunks and quite a few cardinals flitting about. We want future generations to enjoy the idyllic scenery of South High Street.

I think it's great that you didn't give up on finding the woods.
Yay for Woods and Trees but not snakes...
I’ve always wondered how to get in there too! Cool that you found the entrance!!

Linda, If you go in the Latimer Woods Apartments and then drive toward the pool, and then drive on a bit more, you can park and take the sidewalk behind the apartments and there it is. Well worth it. There are some cool historical plaques back there and amazing trees.
