Pea Ridge National Military Park “Take a Walk on the Wild Side" Program
Take a walk on the wild side with NPS Park Guide Ken Lockhart on Saturday, July 23 at Pea Ridge National Military Park. Ken will conduct a Wildland Scene Investigation (W.S.I) Course to include wildlife observation, beginning tracking, outdoor safety, and Leave No Trace wilderness ethics. Program will start at 8:30am at the Elkhorn Tavern (Tour Stop # 8) to take advantage of cooler temps, so participants should arrive 5-10 minutes before 8:30 am. This program is designed for ages 10 and above. Participants should bring insect repellent, lawn chair and plenty of drinking water. This program will last approximately 2 hours.
Pea Ridge National Military Park preserves and commemorates the site of the March 1862 Civil War battle that helped U.S. forces maintain physical and political control of Missouri. The park is located 10 miles north of Rogers just off US Highway 62.
