Have your kids ever been wading in a creek? It can be hard to find safe and legal places to access water, but I found a few great ones! Join me, Alyssa Rose for a Creek Exploration at the Ontario Pathways. You bring your closed toe water shoes, hat, and sunglasses. I will bring some nets, tubs, sifting pans, magnifying glasses, binoculars, and more! We will spend 2 hours exploring the creek from multiple locations and searching for local flora and fauna. We will use tools to safely catch, observe, and release species such as crayfish, invertebrates, fish, and more.
Groups will depart from the Wheat Road Trail Head (2769-2849 Wheat Rd, Clifton Springs, NY 14432).
Each group can hold up to 10 children, so reserve your family’s spot today!
