Cape Lookout National Seashore invites the public to join park staff on Saturday, August 20, at the Harkers Island Visitor Center, as we celebrate “Your National Park Day.” Scouts, home-school groups, and other organizations are asked to call ahead to help us plan for your group.
National Parks belong to all Americans. They are here for the enjoyment of the present and the future generations. Exploring national parks is best done on foot. So come join a ranger on an interactive walk; then learn about the various jobs that are involved with caring for our National Parks.
