Join a Ranger to explore the new acreage at Lockhart State Park and look for birds!

How many birds can we find and identify in Lockhart State Park?  Take a walk with a ranger to find out!  This activity will take place on Lockhart State Park’s new land.  This new area is not yet open to the public, but visitors are welcome to see it via guided events accompanied by State Park staff.  This area does not have any official trails yet, so the terrain is rough and uneven.  This activity is recommended for ages 5 and up.  All experience levels welcome.  No registration required.

Prepare: Wear sturdy shoes and bug repellent.  Bring binoculars, if you have them, and water.  Expect to hike about a mile on rough, uneven terrain.

Meet: In the overflow parking lot. If driving from park HQ, pass the pool and take your first left-hand turn.  Look for the brown “overflow parking area” sign.

Fees: This program is free with paid entry to the park. Regular park entrance fees are $3/adult, free for children 12 & under.
