Join us for
Trillium Fest 2023

Saturday, May 6, 12-4pm

This event is free to the public. Advanced registration not required.

Take a self-guided hike! (60 minutes)

Docents are stationed along the trail to make sure you don’t get lost and to share information about all you will see on your hike. Like wildflowers in bloom and the unique landscape of the sand dune. Stop and take in the native trees towering overhead, speckled with spring growth. See if you can find Hippo Rock (hint, it looks like a hippopotamus!).

It's a great way to connect with nature, get in some exercise, and learn a few things about LC Nature Park.
