Cook Forest State Park, Fire Tower parking lot

Please join us at the Fire Tower parking lot for a night hike in, around, and under the rocks of Seneca Point. We’ll be looking and listening for animals that go bump in the night, and exploring the caves and crevices they live in. One never knows what we’ll find on this challenging hike at night. Creepy cave crickets abound. Bring your hardhats and headlamps!
