older. Children (and their accompanying adults) will explore the area’s wildlife, rare plants, and ecosystems.  Recommended for children ages 8+.

Distance: 5 miles. Terrain: Easy.

What to bring: Water, sunscreen, bug spray, comfortable footwear, snacks, and a bag lunch for all hikes over three hours. Cameras and binoculars are always great to have. Each hike has a limited capacity so reserve early. Hikes are free for all.
