Where is the Enchanted Forest, a forest of cedar trees featuring over 350 handsculpted fairy tale figurines?

The Enchanted Forest is located in British Columbia, Canada. The forest is home to over 350 handcrafted fairy tale figurines and structures. Visitors can explore the forest and its many attractions, including BC's tallest treehouse, a castle, and dungeons. In the autumn, visitors can join the seasonal salmon run and watch Kokanee Sockeye, Spring, and Cohoe salmon along with Rainbow trout spawning.

The Enchanted Forest was created by Doris Needham, an artist from Revelstoke, British Columbia, in the 1950s. She made unusual fairy tale figurines from cement by shaping her creations by hand. She chose the forest between Sicamous and Revelstoke as the perfect spot for her figures. ³. This endeavour turned into a retirement project, which Doris and her husband Ernest named their "Enchanted Forest".

During the next 10 years, the Needhams developed trails by hand, their only tools being shovels, picks, and a crosscut saw. Ernest built the "Candy Cane" house in which they lived and constructed the rock walls along the property. Utilizing the waterfall across the highway, a gravity water system was installed that is still in use today.

On July 1st, 1960, The Enchanted Forest officially opened to the public. That first summer, the only buildings were the giant mushroom and a shack. By 1962, the castle and the "Candy Cane" house were completed.
