Nature Walk at Herald Park/Margaret Falls

Our next nature club meeting is...
Sunday, December 5 , 2010
1:00 pm – 2:00/3:00 pm (depending on the coldness factor!)

Meet at the Margaret Falls parking lot (marked ‘trail parking’ on the map):

Directions: 15 km west of Salmon Arm, turn right onto Sunnybrae Rd.  The parking lot is 12 km down the road, on the left hand side.
Herald Park has many great nature trails to choose from; we could walk up through the old growth forest to check out the waterfalls, or down to the lake for some exploring along the creek and the beach.
I am sure Jack Frost will have made his spectacular appearance by then!
A note about snow: the trail to the waterfall gets quite a bit of foot traffic, so the snow is usually fairly well-trampled. If there is a lot of snow, the trails will not be stroller-friendly.
