This year’s program features a botanical art and journaling workshop, spring-themed trivia sessions and chances to explore trails throughout the park.

Guided hikes include Brown Mountain Trail, Lewis Mountain Trail, Snead Farm Loop, Fox Hollow Trail, Millers Head Trail as well as sections of the Appalachian Trail.

Additional walks highlight spring birds and amphibians.

All programs are free. No reservations are needed.

There is an entrance fee to the park (good for seven days).
