For National Kids to Parks Day this year, we will be alternating between two - one hour stations that will help children explore the land and the river. One group will explore the land while participating in a scavenger hunt while the other group will explore the river by looking for macro invertebrates. Each group will get a chance to experience both stations. Please bring closed toed shoes and a change of clothes since we will be getting wet. Feel free to bring water and bug spray. Meet at the Lupton Access Picnic Shelter at 9am to divide into groups. A daily or annual parking pass must be displayed. This program is intended for youth under the age of 16 years.

Please register here.
