Spring Bird Hike
Bird life is abundant along the lakeshore as species make their annual trek from the wintering grounds in the south, to the nesting territories in the north. Some birds will end their journeys here to find a mate, build a nest and raise their young. It’s an incredibly exciting time of year to be a birdwatcher and this hike is timed to meet the greatest diversity of warblers, vireos, tanagers, grosbeaks and buntings. Meet Park Ranger Jamie Cameron at the Catawba River Area breezeway at 8 a.m. for a stroll around the Fox Den Loop Trail. Bring binoculars and a field guide if you have them and dress appropriately for the weather.

Early Spring Photo Safari
Shutterbugs and novices alike can capture great images at Lake James State Park during every season, but spring is especially rewarding. With new growth literally bursting out of the ground and birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians shaking off their winter doldrums, there’s no telling what kind of subjects we’ll find for the camera. Join Park Ranger Jamie Cameron, an award-winning photo-journalist, for a laid back hike in the woods. Bring whatever camera gear you have; from the top-of-the-line Nikon SLR, to a Smart Phone. Meet at the Holly Discovery Trail parking area at 9 a.m.

Frogs Magnified
Come experience nature in a new way, a magnified way! Nature Magnified is a new program series at Lake James that will introduce kids to the natural world in a different way. Undoubtedly you’ve strolled along the trails of lake and experienced the beauty Lake James has to offer, but have you ever seen the natural world magnified? Come join Ranger Kevin Bischof as he leads a group along the trails of Lake James to explore the frog species of the forest at a different level. The park will supply the magnifying loupes, all you have to do is bring the kids and a sense of exploration. Magnification will turn your walk in the woods into a whole new experience. Because the park has a limited number of magnifying loupes, please call ahead of time to reserve your spot. Reservations can be made by calling the park office at 828-584-7728. This program can be used for the Junior Ranger program and will meet at 1 p.m. at the Holly Discovery Trail parking lot in the Paddy’s Creek Area.

Return to Long Arm Cemetery
It has been many years since members of the public have had the opportunity to visit the historic cemetery on Long Arm Peninsula. Before the area became part of Lake James State Park in 2005 it was long held in private ownership. As new park facilities are developed to access and enjoy this beautiful area, the park staff is excited to provide a rare opportunity to walk among the tombstones. Meet Ranger Clay Veasey at the Paddy’s Creek Area bathhouse breezeway at 10 a.m. and we’ll caravan to the cemetery from there.
