KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — Clear Lake State Park is set to resume its nature walks this month.

Starting on March 12 at 9 a.m., the park will start its spring season nature walks, which will take place on the second Saturday of the month, running through June.

Participants should meet at the Visitor Center parking lot at 9 a.m.

The walks will last about one and a half to two hours and will be an easy stroll on well groomed trails with little or no grade.

Walkers should wear sturdy shoes, wear a hat, bring water and binoculars and dress for the weather.

All hikers are urged to practice good safe COVID protocol in accordance with county guidelines.

Entry into the park will be free for participants. Rain will cancel the walk.

The March walk will be led by CLSP docent Brad Barnwell.

Barnwell has been leading hikes in the park for the last 20 years and is an avid bird watcher and wildlife photographer.

This month Barnwell is extending a special invitation to the regular park walkers/users who would like to know a little more about the flora and fauna in the park.

He will highlight the hopeful return of the park’s nesting osprey.
