Do you ever wonder what goes on at Seven Bends State Park when the park closes for the night? Join us for a rare opportunity to find out with a ranger-led night hike. We will discuss how things such as the sky, weather, plants, and animals are affected by nightfall and then go on an easy hike to explore the sights and sounds of nature at night.
We recommend that you dress appropriately for the weather and bring a headlamp or small flashlight, although we hopefully won’t need them much if it’s a clear night thanks to the full moon.
There is no fee for this program, but an annual or daily parking pass is required. Please register HERE.
