Hours are 10 AM to 4 PM
Among the educational events will be an aquatic ecology talk that will
include
looking at water from the park's streams through a video microscope. Seeing the creatures
up close that live in the
pristine waters of the park is fascinating for all ages.
Historian Dr. Judith Bainbridge
will be telling the story of Paris Mountain and the area before and
after it became a park. In addition, there will be games for the younger
children, such as a nature scavenger hunt.
There will be two mountain-trail runs: a fun-run and a 10K run
for the more serious runner. Friends T-shirts and scenic note
cards of the park will be offered for the first time this year.
There will be a food vendor with light fare of sandwiches and other
snacks. Of course, you are welcome to bring your own picnic lunch if you
like.
A lake Ecotour is one of the activities scheduled
for the day. This walk will be lead by Marie
Burgess, Manager of Camps and Conference at Furman University. She will
identify wildflowers and trees, talk about the ecology of the forest and present a short history of park as the group makes it’s way around the
lake. All ages welcome.
Visitors paddled canoes in 2001.
