Imagine strolling 70 feet above the forest floor, where sunlight filters through leaves and birds are nestled in the branches right next to you. The Tanglewood Canopy Walkway will soon offer this unique opportunity to explore nature from a new perspective.

Located in Tanglewood Nature Center & Museum’s big backyard, this immersive pathway will feature safe, ADA-accessible wooden trails that gently rise from the forest floor into the upper reaches of the trees. As you ascend with the path, you’ll encounter observation decks of various sizes and heights, perfect for pausing to take in the breathtaking views. At its pinnacle, a multi-level platform will soar above the canopy, offering a truly panoramic experience opening up both the surrounding mountains and meadows as well as the forest below.

Whether you’re a curious scientist, a budding birder, a creative photographer, a parent choosing a family activity, or simply someone who loves the outdoors, the Tanglewood Canopy Walkway will promise a one-of-a-kind experience. Explore on your own at your own pace or enjoy guided tours that will share the secrets of the treetops. Either way, you’ll discover a side of nature you’ve never seen before
