Autumn Comes Alive During LBL’s Fall Frolic on Saturday, November 5th

Golden Pond, KY – Enjoy the changing colors and cooling temperatures at Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area, when you help Woodlands Nature Station (NS) celebrate the fall season, Saturday November 5th, 2011.

The “changing of the season” celebration, called Fall Frolic, will feature a variety of environmental education events and fun filled activities, including fall hayrides and live music. “Fall Frolic is the perfect opportunity to bring the whole family outside to enjoy the fall weather and participate in a variety of fun outdoor programs and activities,” said Carrie Szwed, Public Programs Coordinator at the NS.

Grab your sweater and enjoy an old-fashioned wagon ride through the woods of LBL during one of our fall hayrides. These staff-led rides will include fun learning activities and great nature-viewing opportunities with a musical twist!

The 30-minute hayrides are $2.00 per person and leave regularly throughout the day, 10:00am-4:00pm on Saturday. Seating is limited; visitors are required to sign up at the NS front desk that day. Fall hayrides will also be offered on Sunday from 11:00am-4:00pm (no music).

Smokey Bear will make appearances throughout Saturday’s Fall Frolic, so bring your camera for some great pictures with the Forest Service mascot.
