\u201cJoin us to help celebrate the diversity and complexity of native wildlife through a fun superhero theme. Bring the whole family and see wolves, turkeys and bats in a whole new way,\u201d says Monica West, Land Between the Lakes naturalist. \u201cWe\u2019re also offering two canoe trips that weekend for people to view wildlife from the water.

Nestled in the woods between Honker and Hematite lakes, the Nature Station serves as a gateway to the 6,800-acre Nature Watch Area. The friendly staff also serve as \u201cgo to\u201d specialists for wildlife viewing throughout Land Between the Lakes.<\/p>\n
