At the bottom of Hidden Hollow is the West Fork of the East Branch of the Black River. The rich soil of its floodplain is home to towering sycamore, black willow, and black walnut trees — along with a diverse array of wildflowers. The trees and thickets here provide ideal habitat for migrating warblers. Visitors should plan on bird-watching during spring and fall migration.

The enclosed building at Hidden Hollow Camp offers the perfect amenities for an “indoor camping” experience or day-use events such as picnics, graduation parties, birthday parties, etc. for up to 75 people.
