Get Outdoors Day

Get Outdoors Day

It’s GO Day (National Get Outdoors Day)! A perfect day to get out, get active, and embrace your local parks, forests, refuges, or other public lands. If you are looking to discover a new park or simply re-visit an old favorite, come to Fort Churchill State Historic Park and join our park interpreter for a 3–mile hike (round-trip) along the Nature Trail. This trail, which parallels the Carson River, provides plenty of opportunities to discuss and discover the rich cultural and natural history of the area. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable closed-toe shoes and bring water, sun protection, and insect repellent and/or mesh head net. This hike is mostly flat but does include areas of sandy and uneven terrain.

WHEN: Saturday, June 8, 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
WHERE: John C. Fremont Picnic Area at Fort Churchill. Fort Churchill is located 8 miles south of the Highway 95A/Highway 50 intersection on Highway 95A at 10000 Highway 95A, Silver Springs, NV 89429.
COST: Saturday, June 8, is “Discover Nevada State Parks” Day. Park entrance fees will be waived. There is no additional cost to participate in the program.
