Cuando

Jan. 31, 2026. 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

In recognition of World Wetland Day on February 1, 2026, this 45-minute walk will find us winding along Little Bear Creek. This woodland stream has been transformed by time and beavers into a wetland area and an important park habitat. The trail is moderately level terrain with two short steeper inclines.

Following the walk, we'll give a welcoming nod to the coming spring season, Groundhog Day and the Snow Moon, by having a campfire with s'mores fixings available on a limited basis.

These activities will not be held in the event of inclement weather or winds over 10 miles per hour.
