It is imperative that each group arrives at the scheduled time. Early or late arrivals cause confusion, and may result in a delay or cancellation of the program. At least one adult chaperon should accompany each group of 10-15 students. Our staff is limited. Due to the nature of certain activities and areas, total group size may have to be limited in order to assure a safe, quality visit for all.
Teachers are responsible for the conduct of the group.
Facilities are limited. Public restrooms and drinking fountains are located at the Bandy Creek and Stearns Visitor Centers, Leatherwood Ford and the Blue Heron Depot. Groups may picnic at the tables near the Visitor Center, the shelters or at tables in Blue Heron. Please clean-up after yourselves and if additional trash bags are needed, see a park ranger. We are a unit of the National Park Service, and regulations are strictly enforced in order to preserve the park for future generations.
