Join Ranger Fields and uncover the mysteries of Hanging Rock Lake. We will snorkel the swim area, looking for fish, amphibians, and macroinvertebrates. Attendees will need to bring their own snorkel; however, masks/goggles will be available to use. Attendees must know how to swim. Water may be chilly. To sign up for this program, email Jacob.fields@ncparks.gov.
