JEFFERSON CITY, MO, JUNE 21, 2023 – Rock Bridge Memorial State Park invites guests to have some fun while learning about streams and the animals that live in them through activities designed for children ages 4 and older.
From 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 24, visitors can take a guided tour of Connor’s Cave, meet a turtle, catch aquatic animals in the stream, learn about fish, birds and bugs in the area, discover nature stories, and find out how to keep Missouri’s streams healthy.
Most activities will take place near the start of Devil’s Icebox Trail. Some parking will be available in that parking lot, while additional parking will be available at the log cabin, just east of the Gilbert Picnic Shelter. A shuttle will run between the two locations every 15 minutes.
This free event is co-sponsored by Boone County Stormwater, Missouri Stream Teams, Missouri Master Naturalists and the park. Registration is not required and participants should bring water to drink and wear shoes and clothes they don’t mind getting wet.
