Waterfalls Nature Hike

Saturday, May 6, 2023

Meet at the Woodland Trail Head by Shelter 2 and hike the trail to the waterfalls with our County Naturalist. We will observe 2 of the 3 sets of waterfalls that flow downstream of the lake spillway. We will discuss the origins of the St. Louis limestone bedrock that form the waterfalls base and how the waterfalls formed. We will also discuss the history of Brigg's Woods Park, lake development, and park improvements over the years. We will loop back to Shelter 2 on the Boone River Bike Trail and enjoy the beauty of Iowa's oldest County Park. Feel free to bring your cell phones and take a few photos of the yourself at waterfalls. This program is for all ages of people that are able to hike for an hour on the park trails.
