Evening Stroll

7/15/2023 | Prairie State Park | Mindenmines, MO

Have you experienced a prairie as night falls? No? Well here is your chance to find out what happens as the sun goes down. Join us for an evening stroll on the prairie July 15 at 8:30 p.m.

We will get a greater appreciation for the prairie as day fades into night. Think nothing is going on? Think again! Some plants flower only at night, and many animals are more active when it is cooler. We will take about a 1-mile hike across the prairie. Come on out and see what can discovered.

Meet at the Regal Tallgrass Prairie Nature Center. Please bring a flashlight, and wear sturdy shoes, long pants and sunscreen. The use of insect repellent is suggested.

Due to the unique and rare diversity of life preserved at Prairie State Park, pets are not allowed on park trails, EXCEPT for Path of the Earth People and Path of the Sky People. Bison graze freely in the park, and this regulation protects both you and your pet. You are welcome to bring your pet to the park’s campground and picnic area, but must follow Missouri State Parks' pet rules. This applies to all types of pets except service animals assisting people with disabilities.

This event is free and open to the public, and there is no registration.  For more information, call the nature center at 417-843-6711.

Hike Time: 8:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
