Wild River State Park Program Schedule

[HD]

Fall colors are starting to show and there's no better way to enjoy them then to get outdoors! Wild River State Park offers great chances to see trees and prairie grasses change from green to yellow to red, as well as many fall-blooming wildflowers. There are still programs too, so come visit Wild River State Park this fall!

Saturday, September 19, 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.

Sunday, September 20, 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.

Looking for something else to do? The Prairie Care Project is kicking into high gear for fall seed collecting and acorn sowing! We need volunteers to help collect ripe seed or  to sow some of the over 70 pounds of acorns we have! You can come for an hour or for several, any time between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Just stop by the Visitor Center and talk to the Naturalist or an intern to find out how you can help!
