A Princeton Weekend Getaway
Activities: We spent a morning exploring Duke Farms, a 1,000-acre natural conservation area with trails, a visitor’s center, and a cafe. We walked on paved and unpaved trails, saw Duke’s Brook, the Hay Barn, the Orchid Range, and Otter Lake, and hiked the Great Meadow Path
Highlights: The kids loved walking on the trails, tossing rocks in Duke’s Brook, and exploring the beautiful grounds. The cafe had delicious organic and locally sourced food ✨
