LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Anderson Marsh State Historic Park will hold its final guided nature walk of the year on Saturday, Nov. 14.
Bring binoculars and meet in the ranch house parking lot 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.
A guided tour of the historic ranch house museum will follow the walk.
Heavy rain will cancel the walk. If rain cancels the walk the ranch house tour will begin at 8:30 a.m.
There is no charge for those attending the event.
Park docents Gae Henry and Henry Bornstein will lead a leisurely walk to discover what autumn continues to bring to the park.
The walk will begin on the Cache Creek Nature Trail, pausing at the deck on Cache Creek at the end of the Cache Creek Trail boardwalk.
Assuming the ground is dry enough, the guided walk will continue across the grasslands of Anderson Flats, through the marsh and oak woodland habitats of the marsh and ridge trails, and end back at the ranch house. The entire walk should take between two and two and a half hours.
This time of year, many 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.
Phainopepla have returned for the mistletoe berries, flocks of wintering eared grebes are being spotted on the water and the white tailed kites have returned to the grasslands.
Take advantage of this opportunity to join the fun and get a head start on working off all of those calories we will soon be enjoying on Thanksgiving Day.
Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is located on Highway 53, between Lower Lake and Clearlake.
