We are FIND Outdoors, and that’s exactly what we help people do. We inspire people to connect with nature through well-managed outdoor recreation sites, campgrounds, visitor centers, guided tours, and educational and outdoor opportunities for all ages and abilities. We also manage retail outlets that offer forest-related gifts and souvenirs, nature-based activities for children, local crafts, and trail guides.

Our story is rooted in education about the FOREST.
Our passion is to help people become INSPIRED.
Our goal is to help people connect with NATURE.
