Dangerous Plants and Animals
This program will focus on identifying dangerous plants and animals present in Lake James State Park and what to do if one has an encounter while on the trail, lake, or parking lot. Spiders, snakes, poisonous plants, and more will be covered by Ranger Veasey. The program will start at the West Picnic Shelter at 10:00 AM.
