Wilderness Wagon Tours
Saturday and Sunday afternoons from Sat. May 5 – Sun. May 27 (weather permitting), the wilderness wagon will depart the Visitor Center at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00. The narrated wagon ride travels the 3 mile trail house loop road, with stops at the trail house and wetland “school bus stop.” The cost is $1.00 per person. It’s a great way to shorten the hike to the river or to the wetlands if you have small children or non-hikers in your group. Get off at either stop and get picked up later!
