New Year's Day Walk at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park

Description

Start the New Year off right with a leisurely walk at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park! This family-friendly event begins on Monday, January 1st at 12:00 noon at the Park, located off Hwy 53, between Lower Lake and Clearlake. Children of all ages are welcome. Participants should wear sturdy shoes and a hat. Bring water, snacks, and binoculars if you have them. Led by Park docents, the walk will loop through portions of the Cache Creek, Marsh and Ridge Trails. Hikers will experience grasslands, oak woodlands, willow and cottonwood riparian habitats and a large vernal pool near the end of the hike. Hikers may encounter a variety of migrating and resident birds and other wildlife. The hike should take between 2 and 2½ hrs. Participants are welcome to walk part way and make an early return at their own pace. Because this area is a Natural Preserve, we regret that no dogs can be brought on this walk. Join us for a hike in the Park on the first day of 2018!
