Join park staff and learn about the different herp species found at the park. We’ll be embarking on a short hike and exploring our pond to see what herps we can find and ID. Please bring shoes that you don’t mind getting slightly dirty. This is an official ecoExplore event and participants will get points for attending. Not registered for ecoExplore? That’s ok! All are welcome to join this event! Participants should meet at the Jones Lake State Park Visitor Center at 2 p.m.
As of August 28, 2025, we are no longer accepting checks as a form of payment.
Online transactions can utilize a credit card or a gift card only. Transactions at the park can utilize cash, credit card, gift card, certified check, or money orders only.
