The Clarion is host to a variety of reptiles. Most people think of snakes first, and they’d be right, but don’t forget about the variety of turtles and lizards that call its banks and rock outcrops home. Please bring your chairs and blankets to the park amphitheater to view the slide show and handle some replicas. (1 hr)
