We will meet at the wooden bridge in the field next to the visitor's center. The best places to park are in the lower parking lot next to the visitor's center or the gravel lot across the field.
Please make sure everyone in your group is dressed in weather appropriate clothing. Water play and mud are very possible so bringing an extra pair of clothes for kids is advised. It's also a good idea to bring water and some snacks.
All guardians must remain with and are responsible for their own children at all times.
