Watery Winter Warriors

Join a guided walk along the Towpath Trail to discover how aquatic animals make it through the winter months. During this mile-long outing, you'll learn about the survival strategies that help turtles, frogs, beavers, and other water-dwelling creatures thrive in cold conditions. It's a chance to explore nature firsthand and understand the remarkable adaptations these animals use to survive beneath the ice. This program welcomes families and works for participants of all ages, from young children through adults. The activity takes place in person at the trail, and lasts about an hour and a half. If you'd like more information before heading out, the Nature Realm Visitors Center is available to answer questions by phone during their regular hours.
