Do you ever find yourself stepping outside to take a closer look at the fascinating critters attracted to the light coming through your window on summer nights? If so, this is the walk for you!

This activity includes both a short hike and time spent with experts at our light traps. The Discovery Trail has a packed granite surface. We'll hike no more than one mile, and likely less.

Who: Open to ages 5 and up; minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please.

When & Where to Meet: Program begins at 8:00 PM. We'll start in the Group Picnic Pavilion. Lot A will have the closest parking. The parking lot and path to the pavilion are paved and near an accessible restroom.

Cancellation & Details: This program is weather-dependent and subject to cancellation. Check Natural Area conditions by calling GCSNA's main office or visiting one of GCSNA’s social media pages.

Registration is required for this hike. No group registrations. This is a public program intended for individuals or families.
Registration opens on Saturday, two weeks before the event, and closes at noon, the Thursday before the event. Though the hike is free, entrance fees to the Natural Area apply.

To ensure entrance and save time at the Fee Booth please pre-purchase and PRINT OUT a Day Pass. Reserving a Day Pass is NOT the same as making a program reservation.
