                  April
                  proves to be a very special time at  Frozen Head State Park 
                  as the spring flowers bloom. 
                  The event is celebrated during the Spring Wildflower
                  Pilgrimage which will start April 14.  
                  We have organized hikes during the Festival weekend to enable
                  you to visit this beautiful area and to learn more about
                  wildflowers.
                  
                  The
                  average length of each hike will be about 2 hours.  All
                  the hikes are easy to moderate. Hiking boots are preferred but
                  any good walking shoes will be fine. Bring some water.

                  year’s schedule follows:
