A good place to see Skunk Cabbage is on the Ravine trail in Forestville St. Park. The Ravine trail heads east from the Parking lot for Historic Forestville. The trail crosses a burned prairie and then heads into the forest. Aout 1/8 mile into the forest there is a culvert that goes under the trail. On the right side of the trail there is one Skunk Cabbage in bloom and many more in the spring seep which is just across the little stream to the south. If you continue up the steep Ravine trail and jump on to the Fern loop trail there are several great seeps and many more Skunk Cabbage at the far end of that trail.


The Sugar Hollow trail also has several seep not far off that trail.
