Explore the park looking for wildlife while putting in a few steps; the hike is one mile or less on flat trail and starts at the Thomas C. Savage Visitor Center at 10 AM (gather inside). Dress for the weather; the hike is canceled if the wind chill is at or below -15°F or travel is hazardous. No registration required.
