Birding
Peek into a robin's nest to observe their babies in the spring. Listen to the haunting cry of a loon on the lake. Catch the movement of the sandhill cranes in the Sanctuary, our neighboring wetlands. We have an incredible variety of birds so bring your binoculars!
Hiking
The fall season attracts those who love the cooler hiking season and the colorful landscape that comes with the leaves transitioning from green to gold and red.
