Little Tike Hike at Botna Bend Park
Botna Bend Park, Pottawattamie County
Saturday, May 1, 2021
Families with young learners are invited to hit the trails
for a self-guided hike full of fun nature learning at Botna Bend Park available
during regular park hours of 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. May 1st through 31st. As
you enjoy the sights & sounds along a Botna Bend Park trail you will spot
activities posted along your route that are designed to help learners age 3 to
5 experience nature in a new way.
Activities are posted along a .25 to .3 mile stretch of
trail for your enjoyment. This is an "out & back" hike, once you
reach the end of the trail you turn around & head back to the trailhead,
making a .5 to .6 mile round-trip hike. Of course, if you are having fun you
can choose to continue on & enjoy more of the beautiful trails at Botna
Bend Park without posted activities.
Your Little Tike Hike will begin near the bison pen located
along the main park road. Watch for posted signs to guide you to your starting
point.
This event is completely self-guided. It is free to all park
users with paid park admission & is available any time during regular park
hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. May 1st through 31st. While it is designed
for learners age 3 to 5, older learners may also enjoy participating.

with exact change or check at the front gate paybox, or have a valid
