There’s always something happening at Lake Red Rock! Check out these upcoming activities:
A "Little Walk" — 10 a.m., Thursday, Playscape
Nature is full of great adventures and new things to see, hear, smell and touch. Young children and their families can join us for short “little walks” to investigate the world. Each walk will have a different theme, and may include a story, song, craft or other activities.
Bobber/Water Safety Dog Cartoons — 9:30 to 6 p.m., Friday to Sunday, Visitor Center
Nature’s Fireworks: Fireflies — 9 p.m., Friday, Wallashuck Campground (meet at the playground)
The brilliant flashes of fireflies brighten the warm summer nights and offer a wonderful display! Take a walk in search of “nature’s “fireworks” and learn a bit about the insects that create the show.
Birdwatching Hike — 8 a.m., Saturday, Playscape
Take a journey on a quest to discover Red Rock’s winged wonders. Learn some of the basics of spotting birds and identifying them by sight and sound. Bring your binoculars or borrow a pair from us. (Closed-toe shoes and long pants recommended)
Pond Exploration — 10 a.m., Saturday, South Tailwater (meet in parking lot by large picnic shelter)
Go “mucking” at one of the lake area’s wetlands! Dip nets and tubs will be available for you to try and catch some of the critters swimming and crawling in and around the area! Mucking can be messy, so please wear old shoes and clothes.
