Experience the park in a whole new light, without the light! Join a ranger-led night hike through Douthat State Park as we explore the sights and sounds of the forest after sunset. From twinkling lightning bugs to hooting owls and croaking frogs, the nighttime world comes alive in magical ways. We’ll also talk about how our senses sharpen in the dark and discover the amazing adaptations that help nocturnal animals thrive. Space is limited, sign up in the Park Office.
This guided hike covers just under a mile with some elevation gain on uneven terrain through the woods at night. Closed-toe shoes are required for your safety.
