There will be a few changes, once you arrive.

• Bernheim will be open daily, 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.
• Once you enter during your reserved time, you can stay as long as you like, but all visitors must exit by 5 p.m. There will be no reentry once you leave.
• During your stay, please remember to limit gatherings by keeping socially distanced.
• When you are within 10 feet of other guests and Bernheim staff and volunteers, please wear a mask.
• All buildings are closed. Portolets with hand washing stations will be available.
• Isaac’s Café will not be open. Feel free to bring a picnic, snacks, etc.
• Water Fountains will not be in use. Please bring plenty of water with you; it’s important to stay hydrated in the summer heat! And don’t forget to bring water for your dog, which will enjoy Bernheim on leash.
• Most attractions and trails will be open, but the Canopy Tree Walk will be closed and the Forest Giants will be on view from a distance.
