Celebrate International Day of Forests by immersing yourself in the beautiful forest at Black Rock. Hike down the short (but somewhat steep) .25 Norma Campbell Cove Trail to meet Park Naturalist Lou at the bottom with all the materials you will need to create and decorate your own nature journal. Then you can write your first entry!
If you want to walk down with the Ranger, meet at the Mellinger Center in the campground before 2pm. Signage will be posted at the Mellinger Center directing you down the trail for those who arrive after 2pm.
It is also World Poem Day! If you write a poem in your nature journal, we invite you to share it at the campfire behind the Mellinger Center from 7-8pm that evening.
