The Mahaska County Conservation Board and many other local conservation groups and businesses come together each year to put on the outdoor event of the year for families! There will be many activities for families to participate in as they walk along the paths throughout the park. This year’s list of activities include disc golf, tree identification, water safety, turkey hunting, pioneer games, fossil digging, ATV safety, .22 shooting, child safety and awareness, and a visit by Rocco, the new Mahaska County Sheriff K-9. It’s a morning full of activities!
