All activities listed below are intended for children and youth to use in the park.The programs vary in difficulty from a one-day of fun activities to some serious searching for answers, but all the programs are linked to visiting the park and seeing and experiencing the park first-hand.

The WebRanger program is an on line National Parks activity.

 

Programs for this park

• Kids can become Junior Naturalists and earn a patch and pencil by watching nature in the park and completing a 4-page activities sheet, which can be downloaded in advance of your visit. Junior Naturalist is usually the first step to being a Junior Park Ranger.
• Kids can move up to being a Junior Park Ranger and earn an iron-on cloth patch and an Junior Park Ranger badge.
• The Adventure Guide for Teens is a 16-page color booklet that introduces youth to the Appalachian Trail (AT) within this park and enables them to become AT Junior Rangers.
