Did you know we have fossils right under our feet? Come learn about the types of fossils we find here at Swatara State Park, how they were created, and what they can tell us about our past. Then we’ll try our hand as paleontologists and dig for some fossils in our tried-and-true fossil hill! The park will provide plastic digging trowels, but feel free to also bring your own tools. Program will meet at the Swopes Valley Trailhead (40.522343,-76.469334) and we will walk (approx. 1/2 mile) to the fossil hill together.
