Little River Canyon National Preserve will have a nature walk on February 23, 2013 to explore the 1.8 mile Beaver Pond Trail. This free walk, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, will provide outdoor exercise on an easy to moderate trail while seeing some of the natural features. Visitors should meet Ranger Larry Beane at Lynn Overlook, about a mile south of Highway 35 on Highway 176. Visitors are encouraged to bring water, good hiking shoes, and field guide books. The beavers built a pond which has moved several times in the last two decades. Beavers create wetlands that increase biodiversity, decrease erosion, and provide a new habitat. Beaver ponds are natural flood control and sources of water in drought for wildlife. Park Superintendent Gail Bishop invites the public to come out and enjoy the day at the Little River Canyon Center for these free events. For more information call (256)845-9605. You can follow our updates and find park pictures on Facebook.
