LOWER LAKE, Calif. – The first guided nature walk and ranch house tour this fall at Anderson Marsh State Park is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 11.

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.

Join park docents as they lead a leisurely walk to discover what fall is bringing to the park.

the ranch house tour will follow the walk. If rain cancels the walk, the house tour will begin at 8:30 a.m.

Bring your binoculars. This time of year, many resident mammals and birds are attracted to the park because of the abundance of wild blackberries, grapes, rose hips and mistletoe berries available for food.

Fall also brings many migrating birds to the park, some to eat the autumn fruits and some to rest in the waters of Cache Creek and Anderson Marsh, or in the nearby trees.

Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is located on Highway 53, between Lower Lake and Clearlake.
