Ginseng Walk

Learn about where ginseng grows 1^st hand & how it can be preserved. 

Please note that Ginseng does not grow in the most easy-to-reach places. This means that a good portion of the walk will be off-trail and hilly. We recommend that you please wear appropriate footwear to match this terrain. If you have any kind of recurring knee, ankle, or hip issue, this trail may present some difficulties to you. Please be aware of these factors and prepare for this walk accordingly.
