Bird Detectives: A Family Walk at Denny Lake

Bring the kids and explore the birds of Denny Lake together! This family-friendly walk is designed especially for kids and their parent(s) or caregivers. We’ll take a short, easy stroll around the lake while learning how to spot birds, listen for their calls, and discover what makes them unique.

Perfect for curious young birders—no experience needed. Free and open to families (at least one adult required per family). Bring your binoculars, or we will have a couple extra that can be shared!

Tour sponsored by the Montezuma Inspire Coalition, whose mission is to connect youth to the outdoors!

IMPORTANT INFO: You will be meeting Gabi Morey with Montezuma Inspire Coalition directly in the parking lot at DENNY LAKE at 8am.

This will be a sold-out tour, if you realize you or someone in your group cannot make it as we get closer to the tour time, please let us know so that we can call someone on our waitlist. Anyone not registered will not be accepted onto the tour if they just show at Denny Lake.
