Event Description

Join Dexter Patterson from BIPOC Birding Club for a birding outing around Lake Farm County Park. Bring bionoculars if you have them!

Details:
The estimated round-trip length is roughly 3 miles of walking the Lake Farm path and part of the boardwalk. There are multiple types of trail surface encountered when taking the trail from the first lot (near the observatory tower). It starts as grass before transitioning to packed dirt. There are some low-lying areas where it gets mucky after a rain. Some sections of the trail are more packed dirt, some are crushed limestone. The bike path that runs along the prairie and to the boardwalk is asphalt. The boardwalk is wooden planks (in very good condition).

See the Birdability website for more information about Lake Farm Park and the Lower Yahara River Trail Boardwalk, where accessibility assessments are submitted by local volunteers.

Cost: Free (registration required, space limited)

Age: All
