LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Anderson Marsh State Historic Park will resume holding free monthly guided Nature Walks starting in February.
The next walk will be at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 10.
There will be a tour of the historic ranch house after the February walk. Rain will cancel the walk. If rain cancels the walk, the tour will begin at 8:30 a.m.
Guided nature walks at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park will be held in 2018 on the second Saturday of the month, with the exception of September and December.
All walks begin at 8:30 a.m. There will be a tour of the historic Anderson Ranch House after many of these walks.
The nature walk in January was held on New Year’s Day as part of the national First Day Hikes program.
The Fifth Annual First Day Hike at Anderson Marsh attracted more than 150 people and everyone had a chance to enjoy the park on a clear winter day.
February’s nature walk will be led by park docent Roberta Lyons, who asks that participants arrive at the parking lot by 8:15 a.m. so they can have time to explore the wildlife found in the ranch house yard.
Winter is a great time to visit the park because the trees are bare, allowing a better view of the birds.
The route taken will depend on the weather and the condition of the trails. Participants should bring binoculars if they have them, and wear sturdy shoes and a hat.
Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is located on Highway 53, between Lower Lake and Clearlake.
