[HD]

Friday, May 29   7:30 p.m. at the campground amphitheater:  Live Frogs!
and other Amphibian Encounters.  You can’t much more hands-on with frogs than you will with Randy Korb.  Learn about Minnesota amphibians (frogs, toads, and salamanders) in face-to-face encounters. 

Saturday, May 30   2:00 p.m. at the visitor center.  Amik’s Pond
Hike.  Explore the variety of nature along a trail through woods, wetlands, and river shore.  One mile loop hike highlights interesting plants, birds, and whatever else crosses your path.

Saturday, May 30   9:00 p.m. at the campground amphitheater. Two Little
Owls. Have you ever heard of a winged tiger?  The young great horned owls in this film look more like kittens, but owls are skilled hunters.

Sunday, May 31  11:00 a.m. at the visitor center.  Slithery Snakes!
Are snakes slithery, sneaky, and slimy?  Or are they cool, quiet, and cautious?  Learn about the snakes found in this park, see live examples (Ripley, a 5 3/4 foot bull snake, and Winnie the garter snake), and touch - if you dare - a representative of this fascinating group of animals.  Feeding time is after the program, for those who want to watch.
