CLEAR LAKE STATE PARK – Dr. Harry Lyons, professor of ecology and biology at the Yuba College Clear Lake Campus, will present his popular “Myths and Music of Clear Lake” at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, July 25.

This entertaining program mixes biology, humor and music to tell the story of Clear Lake. A story few have heard.

What’s that green stuff? Who eats cyanobacteria? Should you stay out of the water on certain days? Shouldn’t this lake have disappeared years ago? Dr. Lyons tells the intriguing story of Clear Lake as only a marine biologist can tell it. Lyons’ musical talent and humor round out an exceptional program.

There is no entrance fee to the park for attending scheduled programs, walks or visiting the museum. The visitor center, including the gift shop where you will find many interesting items, will open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday throughout the summer.

On Sunday, July 26, meet Dr. Cliff Johnson at 8:30 a.m. at the visitor center ramp for a walk in the park.

Johnson has taught classes on birding for Mendocino College at Clear Lake State Park. As a worldwide birder, he has an amazing record on sightings. Guided walks in the park take place on the second and fourth Sunday at 8:30 a.m.
