Trout Lake Nature Center Inc

The center provides regular programs throughout the year for families, children and adults. Some examples are sunday fundays on turtles, reptiles, water and bears, night hikes, naturalist series, monthly pack walks, and summer reading trails programs along with water color painting classes and others inspired by nature programming. Other conservation organizations also provide programs to the public. In addition, the center provides twice a week yoga sessions and monthly nature sprouts programs for 2 to 5 year olds. Participation ranges from 15 to 100 at the events.

The center's property and facilities (natural history museum, screened in picnic shelter, education building, education dock, boardwalk, foot bridges and trails) are open to the public and guided programs are offered to groups throughout the year. The education building and natural history museum contain mounted specimens of wildlife native to the area. The center also curates a 1,400-specimen butterfly and insect collection. Children, families, adults and dog walkers travel our trails, use our picnic areas and enjoy nature and the outdoors. A variety of programs are provided using outdoor teaching areas.
