Wildflower Hikes
Frozen
Head State Park
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.
