Trails
With almost 200 acres of dedicated open space, the community’s extensive trail system is the one of the most popular amenities at Edgemont Highlands. Each home enjoys direct access to over ten miles of walking and hiking trails. The walking paths are defined with log borders and a wood-chip surface across more gentle terrain. The hiking trails are rough cut, similar to National Forest trails, and provide access to the more undisturbed areas of the property. The Pioneer Trail on the far western end provides direct access to the National Forest.

Public Art
The inclusion of public art is an important feature of Edgemont Highlands. Local sculptor Dave Claussen created the giant steel pine cone at the east entrance, and the oak leaves at the west entrance. Environmental artist Mary Ellen Long has completed dozens of installations along the trail system, incorporating indigenous materials from the site. All of these pieces add a richness and unique character to the land.
