General Visitor Information

Wood ticks are most prevalent between March and June. These parasites reside in tall grass and low shrubbery and seek out warm-blooded hosts. Although they are potential carriers of disease, they are a natural part of the environment and can be easily avoided. Legs should be protected by wearing trousers tucked into socks or gaiters. After outdoor activity, thoroughly examine yourself. Check pets for ticks as well.

The extreme hot, dry climate can result in overexposure to the sun. Wear sunscreen of at least SPF 15 and a hat with a brim.

Bring your own water, as potable water is not available in the park.
