Check in with staff at the archery table next to the dog park to register for activities. Admission and all activities except canoeing are free.

» Canoeing: Outdoor Chattanooga will provide all the equipment (tandem canoes, PFD, paddle) to paddle the creek at your own pace. Canoes are available from 4 to 6 p.m at the boat ramp behind the gardens. There will be a fee of $25 per canoe (cash or check only). Canoes will be rented on a first-come, first-served basis.

» Nature Hike: Seek adventure in a classic nature hike at the park. Take a leisurely stroll or head into the hills with suggested routes and a self-guiding map. Ask for a scavenger hunt list for some extra fun.
