Come celebrate World Turtle Day with us at Lake Roland for an explorative paddle around the lake. With the help of expert guides, we will be looking for any of the six species of turtles that inhabit the reservoir including Painted, Red-Bellied, Red-Eared, Snapping, Musk, and Mud turtles. You will also get the chance to catch hatchlings and possibly some adults to get a closer look at the turtles. Feel free to bring your own binoculars to help sight the turtles and other wildlife on the lake.
Our expert guide, Howdy Knipp, is a retired middle school science teacher and has been involved with the Lake Roland Nature Council since its inception in 2010 and has helped with canoe programs, hikes, and many park projects over the past 15 years.
Our canoes seat 2 adults, so individuals will be paired up with another paddler – if you are not comfortable paddling with a stranger, sign-up with a buddy! Children signed up may sit in the middle of the canoe. This float is on a small and calm lake, so no experience is required. Please wear comfortable clothing and footwear that you don’t mind getting wet or dirty.
RAIN DATE: June 2nd (10am – 12pm). Registrants will be notified if the trip is cancelled due to weather.
CANCELLATION POLICY – Refunds available if cancellations are made greater than 7 days prior to trip.
Specific trip information will be provided upon registration. Please contact Lauren with any additional questions.
