Beall Farmstead on Tappan Lake
MorelFest will be held at the BTA Beall Farmstead on the shore of Tappan Lake. Join us for a weekend of hiking, music, food, camping and of course, Morels! Guided hikes/mushroom hunting will start and finish at the barn. Hikes may be 2-5 hours, and will vary in difficulty and terrain. Hike leaders may take small groups to areas away from the Beall Farmstead to other MWCD Lakes and carpooling is recommended. Our goal is to introduce the Buckeye Trail to our guests as well as hunt Morels while we are hiking the trail.
