Yellow Rail Walks – March & April
Walk the salty prairie habitat in search of the elusive yellow rail and learn about yellow rail ecology and management. This challenging walk through the marsh requires waterproof rubber boots, plenty of insect repellent and a good supply of drinking water. All tours begin at the Visitor Information Station.
