LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Anderson Marsh State Historic Park remains open and continues to hold monthly guided nature walks, followed by a tour of the Historic Ranch House Museum.

The final guided walk of spring 2016 is scheduled for Saturday, June 11.

Meet in front of the Ranch House at 8:15 a.m. for time to experience the early morning wildlife to be found in the Ranch House and Barn complex yard – the walk begins at 8:30 a.m.

Join Park Docent Roberta Lyons as she leads a leisurely walk to discover what the recent rains are continuing to bring to the Park.

Assuming the ground is dry enough, the guided walk will start along the grasslands of Anderson Flats, go up the hill past a vernal pool and then take the Marsh trail past the acorn woodpecker granary tree. The walk should take one and a half to two hours.

A ranch house tour will follow the walk. If rain cancels the walk the ranch tour will begin at 8:30 a.m.

Bring your binoculars. This time of year brings many migrating birds to the park, some to rest in the waters of Cache Creek and Anderson Marsh or in the nearby trees. There have been sightings of wintering eared grebes on the water and the white tailed kites have returned to the grasslands.

Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is located on Highway 53, between Lower Lake and Clearlake.
