Friends of Boggs Mountain is sponsoring a free map and compass class on Saturday November 4 at 10:00 am at The Little Red School House in Cobb. The address is 15780 Bottle Rock Rd., Cobb. During this class, our instructor will help you understand a topographic map, proper use of your compass, and how to use the two together. You'll learn about magnetic north, true north, and map symbology. After covering these fundamentals, you'll get time to practice orienting a map in proper north direction and understanding contour lines. This engaging class is a great introduction to outdoor navigation and map reading on Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest!![]()

Do you want to enjoy some fresh air, see what’s happening in Bogg’s Mountain State Forest, and get some exercise at the same time???? Come join us for an easy to moderate, 2-mile hike, in Boggs Mountain State Forest on Sunday, August 27. We will meet in the Parking Lot adjacent to the Helicopter Station at 8:30 am. We will then carpool to Camp Calso which is the starting point for our hike. We will be hiking both High Chair ad Berry’s Trails where we will be treated to views of the abundant new growth flourishing as a result of the extensive plantings after the 2015 Vqlley Fire devastated much of the Forest. We will also view areas that did not receive replanting to note the comparison. In addition, we can marvel at the views of adjacent mountains and peer down Seigler Canyon to areas adjacent to Clear Lake.![]()
