Birdwatching
Grab your binoculars and keep an eye out for local and migratory species. The park is home to everything from majestic hawks to delicate songbirds.
Nature Scavenger Hunt
Pick up a scavenger hunt list at the Discovery Center or Headquarters and challenge your family to find all the unique plants, animals, and natural features that make this park special.
Nature Photography
Bring your camera or smartphone and capture the beauty of the park. Whether it’s the river, wildlife, or the vibrant fall foliage, you’re sure to find stunning photo opportunities.
Wildlife Spotting
Keep your eyes open for wildlife like deer, foxes, and wild turkeys. The park’s diverse ecosystem makes it a great spot for animal sightings.
Picnic with a View
Pack a picnic and enjoy a peaceful meal with loved ones at one of our scenic picnic spots. There’s no better way to relax and soak in the day than with nature all around you.
