Summer Activities in the Park

It’s almost summertime, and that means it’s almost time for the award-winning “Summer In The Park” activities at Warriors’ Path State Park.

These nature discovery activities will begin Memorial Day weekend and continue into mid-August. Each week, you and your family can enjoy guided nature hikes, evening campfire talks, wildlife demonstrations, nature arts & crafts, night walks, creek explorations, and much more. The schedule is different each week but always packed full of hands-on nature experiences. And it’s all FREE!
