Join us to enjoy an afternoon birding walk at Rocky Fork Lakes Conservation Area. We might see anything from sparrows and woodpeckers, to soaring raptors, to waterfowl. All skill levels welcome!

We’ll follow a route that winds through stands of pines and deciduous trees, past multiple ponds, and across open ground to an upland ridge with a view across grasslands. If we’re lucky, we might catch sight of a beaver!

This is an out-and-back walk of 2-3 miles (depending on where we turn back) with gentle topography. The trail is wide and mowed, but it may be mucky in places if it rains prior to the trip.

Meet at 2:30 pm at parking lot on north side of lake (see map linked here), where pit toilets are available. We’ll aim to return by 4:45pm. Anyone who needs to turn back early can easily follow the route back.
