Towering Douglas firs and cedars frame winding trails that lead to hidden waterfalls and tranquil creeks. The air is crisp with the scent of pine and damp earth, inviting you to explore the vast network of hiking paths that crisscross the surrounding mountains. In autumn, the forest floor glows with golden ferns and mushrooms, while summer brings long, sun-dappled days perfect for picnicking by the river. Wildlife abounds: keep an eye out for black-tailed deer, bald eagles, and the occasional black bear. The small community center hosts a weekly farmers' market where you can taste local berries and artisan cheeses. Forest Knolls is a true escape for nature lovers seeking quietude and raw beauty, far from the bustle of city life.",[10,13,15],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","911",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",{"key":16,"value":12},"Fire",[18,21,24,27,30,33,36],{"key":19,"value":20},"Do I need a visa?","Most visitors need an eTA or visa.
