Have you hiked the Mapleton Acadian Forest Trail near Elgin? I highly recommend this quiet 3-km nature trail to anyone who would like to spend a peaceful hour or two exploring the Mapleton Acadian Forest Nature Preserve.
As you meander up hill and down dale, you will discover small waterways, footbridges, interpretive signs, ravines, and a variety of hardwoods and softwoods in the Acadian Forest. You will hear brooks gurgling, squirrels chattering and birds calling. You might also catch a glimpse of wildlife or a maple sugar camp in the distance.
