Inside the cedar forest for 800 years
Initially, the artist Doris Needham and her husband Ernest needed a place to display their sculptures so they bought a forest and placed them all over the place. These works are characters from fairy tales or rhymes for children. Their cedar forest is located on the Trans-Canada highway in British Columbia state. The forest is already a beautiful natural place with lakes suitable for boating, tall 800-year-old cedar trees, attracting both salmon to breed and elk and reindeer

During the 1950s, the couple manually cleaned the trails and built a stone wall covering the 32,000 m² area without using any machinery.



Ernest also built for the two of them a lovely little house like a "gingerbread house" and installed a water system from a waterfall that can still be used today.
When Rogers Pass was completed and cleared the road, traffic started to change to go through the fairy-tale forest of the Needham couple, so in 1960, they decided to open the door to welcome guests. From a personal project, today the "enchanted forest" (Enchanted Forest) has become an attractive tourist destination for many visitors to visit. Visitors here will see dragons, pirates hiding behind rocks and large trees, dwarfs and fairies in lakes just below the stream falls, and especially the couple's candy house. doctor.
In 1970, a million visitors came to visit the works of art from the castles, statues, tree houses and characters hidden in the Needham's woods. The artists realized the forest was becoming more and more difficult to manage and their retirement project turned into a challenging full-time job Doris and Ernest sold the forest to the couple Rocky and Juliet Ehlers.




The Ehlers family loves the garden and continues to take care of it so they are always happy to welcome visitors. Today, the forest is always renewed with small landscapes, every corner also has a small hut with fern-covered roof, or a character decoration in children's rhymes. The Ehlers House has added more than 350 large and small artifacts, including a pirate ship and the largest tree house in British Columbia.
The cedar forest is a suitable destination for visitors of all ages. In the forest, there is a 2 km long walking line, both sides of 800 year old cedar trees. In addition to the amusement park in the forest, visitors can also enjoy the lake boating, wooden houses, visiting the floating garden and especially the Skytrek Adventure Park with adventure games. In the fall, you have the opportunity to watch salmon spawn in the Eagle River located on the northern edge of the forest.
Enchanted Forest welcomes guests from 9:00 to 17:00 per day or 9:00 to 19:00 depending on the season, with tickets priced at 7-12 USD / person depending on age.
