It's time to enjoy another full moon! This one is called the "Full Worm Moon." Listen to Anthony tell you all about it, as you take a unique hike by moonlight along Trail 3. The trail will be rugged. Dress accordingly. Meet a the front patio at the Spring Mill Inn.

Some of these little guys may not be as scary as you think. Meet a live snake at Spring Mill, and learn all about the ones that we have around Lawrence County. Bring your courage with you! Meet at the Lakeview Activity Center.

Create your own nature print by using natural materials from Spring Mill State Park. This will be fun! Meet at the amphitheater outside of the Lakeview Activity Center.

Bring the kids over to Spring Mill to play some fun games. It's your choice - Bingo or Nature Scavenger Hunt? Complete a game, and you get a prize! We love prizes. Meet at the Lakeview Activity Center. When you have finished, there's no reason to head out right away. If the weather is nice, take the family on a hike around the lake or have a nice lunch at the Spring Mill Inn.  

Celebrate National "Walk in the Park" Day at Spring Mill. Walk with volunteer, Tony, along the creek to take a look at the beautiful sights in Spring Mill. There's no better way to spend a day, than spending it outside. * Wear comfortable clothing - the hike is rugged. Meet at the Sycamore Shelter House.

Explore the beautiful hidden gem, Cave River Valley, with the Spring Mill State Park Naturalist. Enjoy a rugged hike through this primitive park, that most people don't know about. It is recommended that you wear good hiking shoes and comfortable clothing, because the hike will be rugged. Meet at the Grissom Memorial at Spring Mill to follow the Naturalist to Cave River Valley, 15 miles down the road.

Join the Naturalist at Donaldson Shelter parking lot to take a rugged hike to Donaldson Cave. Listen to stories about the Scottish explorer that the cave is named after. If you decide to enter the cave, you will want to wear clothes that you can get dirty!

Gus Grissom was one of the Original Seven Mercury Astronauts and one of the first men to fly in space. If that isn't exciting, we don't know what is! He hails from right here in Lawrence County and it's important that we never let his story go unrecognized. Take this day to remember our local hero and have a little fun while you're at it.

It feels as though you're taking a drive back in time as you cruise the Spring Mill Campground for the Vintage Camper Rally.

If you have a vintage camper and you want to be involved, click here.
