Arrive at the pavilion area by 11:45 a.m. The pavilion is located on the beach side of the park.
Plan to bring a chair. The pavilion picnic table may not be in place, so bring along a chair to be sure.
Kristin Collins, park naturalist, will lead the program. We will start a hike from the pavilion at about 12:15 p.m. This will go about one hour to 1:15 p.m.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and layers, depending on the temperature. We will walk through some forested areas and also along the lake. It is almost all flat.
