Event Details

Join Ranger Beasley for a trip around Couchville Lake. The history of this lake has been a hot button topic.

Is it manmade? Why is it called Couchville? Is there a town lurking underneath the surface? These questions answered and more on this relaxing (and hopefully not too hot) hike around Couchville Lake.


As the program name implies it could get hot out there so bring plenty of water, comfortable shoes, and anything else you may need for a two-mile hike around the lake.
