A parent or guardian must be present with children for the duration of the program. This event is free for all to attend, and no pre-registration is required. Please dress for muddy conditions, expect uneven terrain and rocky lakeshores.

Please note that park visitors are NOT permitted to keep fossils or take them off of the park grounds per state law. We will be looking at the rocks and putting them back where we found them; this way next generations of fossil enthusiasts can enjoy them too!
