KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A morning on the Indian Nature Trail at Clear Lake State Park is a perfect way to start a weekend.
You are invited to meet docent Walt Lyon at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 3, at the trailhead near the park entrance kiosk.
The short shaded trail is rated as moderate. Sturdy shoes are recommended for ease of walking on stone steps.
During this guided walk, Lyon will talk about the flora along the way.
How do you tell a blue oak from a valley oak? Are foothill pine nuts edible? Is the California buckeye really dying? Why do bears like the manzanita? Can poison oak really be that beautiful?
Enjoy a great exchange of information as you ascend this picturesque ancient lava flow.
If the parking lot at the entrance is congested, additional parking is available in the lot adjacent to the Visitor Center, which is only a brisk 15-minute walk back to the trailhead.
Visit www.clearlakestatepark.org for great photos and park information provided by Clear Lake State Park Interpretive Association.
Clear Lake State Park is located at 5300 Soda Bay Road near Kelseyville.

COBB, Calif. – The Friends of Boggs Mountain will offer a nature walk on the interpretive trail on Wednesday, Aug. 31.
The walk will begin at 9 a.m.
Every season has its special gifts, and as summer slides into fall, they will look for signs of the change of the seasons.
Both the Konocti and Sonoma Manzanita bushes are losing some of their leaves, the madrone trees have laid down a carpet of yellow and the Woodland Madia, a late summer wildflower, is in full bloom.
This is an opportunity to get some exercise while you enjoy the wonders of nature.
The interpretive trail has more than 50 signs identifying the plants, shrubs, trees, mosses and wildflowers encountered on the path.
The 1.3-mile hike will be on moderate terrain and will be led by Darlene Hecomovich.
Wear study shoes, dress appropriately for weather conditions, and bring water and enthusiasm.
Meet at the Parking Lot Kiosk promptly at 9 a.m.
The forest entrance is located off Highway 175 just two miles north of Cobb Village. Turn at the blue State Fire Station/Boggs Mountain Forest sign.
For further information phone Darlene Hecomovich at 707-928-5591 or email at
