A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Steven Dale

Summer has arrived at the Hammock. Borrow a pair of binoculars and a bird list at the ranger station and see how many birds you can identify. Take a walk on the Cypress Swamp trail for a chance to view alligators. Keep a close eye out for deer while walking the trails as fawns can often be seen feeding with the does.

On Saturday, May 19th, Vintage Hearts returns with their blend of Country, Rock, Bluegrass, Blues and other music affectionately known as Americana. Join us at 7:00 p.m. for this concert under the stars. Bring lawn chairs or blankets, a flash light and perhaps some bug spray. Concert admission is just $5 per person and benefits park improvement projects. Hope to see you there!
