There is nothing better than getting outside on a summer day, except getting outside and learning something new. Bass River State Forest offers a host of educational hikes to keep the whole family active, entertained and informed all season long.

Hike with a purpose during National Trails Weekend, June 2 through 4. Hikers will meet at the park office at 10 a.m. and join naturalist Lisa Riley for an easy 2- to 3-mile hike.
