Crooked Bush

The Crooked Bush is a fascinating natural site made up of a three-acre grove of aspen trees located on private land northwest of Hafford. The trees are known for their unusual growth patterns, with branches that twist, loop, and bend in all directions, creating a truly unique landscape.

While the Crooked Bush is a naturally occurring phenomenon, it has inspired local stories and folklore over the years. A winding boardwalk has been installed to protect the trees and their habitat while allowing visitors to explore the site safely and respectfully.
