LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Anderson Marsh State Historic Park remains open and the Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association (AMIA) continues to hold guided nature walks, followed by a tour of the Historic Ranch House Museum.
The first walk for this fall is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 13.
Meet in front of the Ranch House at 8:15 a.m. for time to experience the early morning wildlife to be found in the Ranch House and Barn complex yard. The walk begins at 8:30 a.m.
Bring your binoculars. This time of year mammals and birds alike are attracted to the park because of the abundance of wild blackberries, grapes, rose hips and mistletoe berries available for food.
Also, fall brings many migrating birds; some to eat the autumn fruits and some to rest in the waters of Clear Lake, Cache Creek, Anderson Marsh or in the trees nearby.
Join Park Docents Gae Henry and Henry Bornstein as they see what early fall has brought to the park.
During both the walk and the Ranch House tour, Henry and Bornstein will share their passion and knowledge about the natural, cultural and historic resources protected in the park.
If rain cancels the walk, the ranch tour will begin at 8:30 a.m.
Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is located on Highway 53, between Lower Lake and Clearlake.
