Trails may be explored easily without a guide, with informational markers along the way. Trail markers give information regarding human activity, including the digging of canals and ditches, and damage to trees from the release of drilling fluids. Field guides and other natural history books and postcards may be purchased. Picnic areas and restrooms available. Call ahead and discuss a plan of activities with a ranger.
Microscopes are available for water sample viewing.
