Staff Picks: Favorite Place to be Outdoors
"Forest Park is the largest urban forest in the U.S. It's like the forest moon of Endor. But my favorite part is the "Witches Castle," a ruined stone building along the trail. It's a stone restroom from the '30s that was damaged in a storm in the 60s. It's absolutely gorgeous." - Brandon

Forest Park stretches for more than eight miles, and the walking path in it is a 40 mile loop. The #15 bus from Belmont will drop you off near the Lower Macleay Park entrance, where these photos were taken.

To get to the Witches Castle (also called the Stone House), walk the Lower Macleay Park trail for 20 minutes. The "Castle" is on your left, at a juncture with another trail.
