Ongoing Events
- Loop Road - The 3 mile Trail House loop road is open to car traffic Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM April – October (except on holidays). Parking is available at the Trail House and Wetland.
- Wilderness Wagon Rides - Saturday and Sunday afternoons from May– June and September - October (weather permitting), the wilderness wagon will depart the Visitor Center on the hour: 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00. The narrated wagon ride travels the 3 mile trail house loop road, with stops at the trail house and wetland “school bus stop.” $1.00 per person. It’s a great way to shorten the hike to the river or to the wetlands if you have small children or non-hikers in your group. Get off at either stop and get picked up later! Group tours are also available on the Wilderness Wagon.
