Bald eagles leave the nest in August and migrate through until about February.

When is the best time to come?

Because there are so many reasons to come to the park, the answer depends on your interests.  Late May through September is the summer flower blooming period.  The most important thing to remember for flowers is to come in the morning before flowers close for the day.  October through March is a good time for birding as leaves are off the trees, and animals are easier to see.  The park opens at 7:00 a.m. for birders, photographers and others.

Dogs on a leash are allowed in the park.  To protect your pet, others in the park, and wildlife, please keep even the friendly dogs on a leash at all times.

There are no vending machines in the park, but the bookstore sells bottled water.

Children should be accompanied by an adult.
