Spend National Kids to Park Day at Natural Tunnel State Park as we celebrate our outdoor resources and get everyone excited about parks; there's more than just meets the eye! To end the evening with a refresher, we will be offering free water activities including "Critter Crawl."

What's under that rock? Macro-invertebrates help us to be in the know about the health of our waterways. We'll search the creek for these underwater creatures and explain their roles in the environment. Wear closed-toed shoes and expect to get wet.
