Join us for an adventurous, unique way to enjoy hearing and seeing our feathered friends: Birding by bike! This outing will follow the Capital City Trail from Nine Springs/Lake Farm County Park area (trailhead parking lot) west to Nevin Springs, and back. Total distance biked is approximately 8.25 miles. Sunset is 6:15pm so we will be off the trail, loaded up and headed home well before dark.
This field trip will involve slow to moderate-paced biking with stops at multiple points along the way to enjoy the birds we see and hear in these great natural areas.
A State Trail Pass is required to bike on this location—daily passes are $5 and available for self-registration at the site (cash or check only).
