Saturday, June 25th, 8am - 10am - YOUTH WALK
Arcadia Management Area - Breakheart Pond

Are you a birder (or know a birder) ages 8 to 18? This walk is tailored just for you! We will be birding the trails around Breakheart Pond. Please note the start time of 8AM. Hike could potentially be as long as up to two miles on a well-trafficked, groomed trail. The Breakheart Pond Trail travels through many habitats, including a lake, streams, and open woodland. Potential birds include herons, warblers, thrushes, waterfowl and more. Please keep in mind that since this is near water, insect activity could be high.  Children aged 14 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, teens 15 and over may attend the walk without a parent/guardian present. 

Directions: Click here for Google Maps directions to the Breakheart Pond parking lot.
