Break out your boots, dust off your pack and join us for our annual series of guided hikes. Our Discovery Series is a great opportunity to get outside and learn more about the Natural and Cultural History of Forest Park. This year, we have expanded our offerings, covering a wide variety of topics and terrain for all ages.

Please click on individual hikes below for full descriptions. There will be a maximum of 12 participants on each hike, and space will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. All hikes are FREE to all, though registration will be limited to the first twelve individuals. Unless otherwise indicated, hikes are suitable for ages 10 & up. Please register online (click on individual hikes for more information) or contact us with any additional questions.
