Get in on the fun with activities ranging from archery to guided kayaking, not to mention geocaching and Nordic Walking—if that's more your speed.
For those born with a compass in hand, the parks are also introducing a geocaching program, promising an experience that's both delightful and slightly competitive.

And let's not forget the mobile solace seekers—the Nordic Walking Club is striding back into session. It's like hiking boosted with poles for a full-body workout. You'll be traipsing the trails with fellow flannel-clad walkers, burning calories courtesy of the ever-present autumn breeze. With all these options, your only real challenge is deciding which outdoor adventure to tackle first.
