Event Type

Fall is a busy time for the plants and animals of the Big Woods. Join our park naturalist on a hike to find out the many ways that they get ready for the coming winter.

Hike covers roughly a mile and includes steps, a portion of boardwalk and hilly terrain. Sturdy shoes are recommended. Front and backpack carriers are encouraged for younger children as the trail is not stroller friendly.

Meet at the park picnic shelter.

This program is free to attend, but a vehicle permit is required for all motor vehicles entering the park. It is $7 for a day or $35 for a 12-month permit. Permits can be purchased online or at the park office.
