Under Renovations

Out visitor center is currently being renovated. This means we will be closed on some days we normally would be open. Below are the current days in which our grounds (the boardwalk, visitor center, visitor center parking lot, and driveway) will NOT be open to the public.

Friday, December 1st	Closed all day
Friday, December 22nd	Closed all day
Saturday, December 23rd	Closed all day
Saturday, December 24th	Closed all day

The only thing that will still be open will be the grassland/woodland trail and its parking lot which is just outside and next to our gate.
