Nature Walk Planned for Saturday at Lake Solano

Join a free, guided nature walk at Lake Solano Park on Saturday, July 9th from 10 a.m., to noon. Guided tours of Lake Solano Park are offered throughout the summer and fall from 10 a.m., to noon on the second Saturdays and fourth Sundays of each month. These tours are a great opportunity to have fun, learn, and get healthy exercise.

Lake Solano volunteer Barbara Cooper will lead the walk on July 9th. She’ll share insights about native plants, their inter-relationships with other living species, and their dependence on the water from Putah Creek. Barbara is an experienced teacher and she’s very creative. She loves to interact and share information with children and adults in a fun and educational way.

Barbara’s walk will be along the shoreline, so the trail will be relatively flat.  Participants should wear comfortable, sturdy shoes and bring protection from the sun. Sunglasses, hats, and water are recommended to stay comfortable throughout the walk. Binoculars and cameras are also welcome.

The walk will begin in the courtyard next to the Lake Solano Park Nature Center at 8685 Pleasants Valley Road Winters, CA.  The tour is free, but parking is $5 per vehicle, payable across the road on the other side of the park.  No RSVP is necessary.  For questions in advance, call 707-432-0150 x200 or email volunteer@SolanoLandTrust.org.  For same-day information, call 530-795-2990. 

Guests who bring picnic lunches can enjoy more time along the water after the walk.  Guests can also camp at Lake Solano the night before or after the walk, or for the entire weekend. Tent and RV campsites are rented on a first-come, first-served basis.
