CLEAR LAKE STATE PARK – A “virtual hike” may be just the thing on a hot June afternoon.


The Saturday series of Visitor Center programs continues at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, June 6, with a slide presentation of the “Indian Nature Trail: A trail for all seasons.”


This program is especially dedicated to those who no longer want to traverse the side of a volcanic flow, but want to enjoy all aspects of the journey. The visitor center has an Americans with Disabilities (ADA)-approved ramp to the auditorium.


The program brings together features of the trail at various seasons of the year, and also shows birds, animals and flowers that are not always present during a walk.


Many plants along the trail were food sources for Native Americans. See narrowleaf mule ears, blue dicks and golden fairy lantern and learn how they were used.


There will be plenty of time to ask questions of docent Leona Butts who will be your guide. Also, take time to enjoy a stroll through the center’s natural history museum and inspect the many new items in the gift shop.


There is no entrance fee to the park when entering to attend programs in the Visitor Center.
