Bike, hike and walk
Walking may be good for your health, but walking near alpacas is even better. At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, you’ll find miles of paved roads and walkways that we invite you to enjoy. Bring your bike, push your stroller or walk your dog in this natural setting. You’ll get to see beautiful architecture, alpacas, horses, chickens, trees, flowers and so much more.
When you park your car you can park all your troubles for a while and just enjoy the peace and quiet that surrounds you. Download a walking tour map to see some of the places you can go.
We want you to feel at home at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. Stop by Providence Spirituality & Conference Center while you’re here and say “hi.” We will gladly answer any questions you may have.
