Call of the Creek: Wagon Ride, Hike, and Water Investigation

Join us as we answer the call of the creek and investigate how the water quality of streams is interconnected with the environmental health of Sky Meadows State Park. This Ranger-led program meets in the Park’s carriage barn and proceeds to our stream access area, offering guests a unique program experience beyond the bounds of the historic area. First, we will take a leisurely wagon ride down to Gap Run, followed by a short hike to the stream. Participants will conduct water sampling and analysis, survey macroinvertebrates, and practice nature journaling to “capture” our discoveries.

The program is designed for children ages 6 – 12, although all are welcome. The hike portion will cover a short distance (approx. ½ mile) over flat terrain. Come prepared to get your feet wet (recommend wearing shorts, shoes that may get wet, and consider bringing a towel for post creek exploration).
