Join us for Trail Tuesdays, a monthly guided walk series at COMLARA Park! From May to August, we’ll explore the park’s diverse trails, uncovering what’s “in season” along the way on the first Tuesday of each month. Each walk will highlight a mix of park history, geology, plant identification, prairie ecology, and land management practices—all while soaking in the beauty of the great outdoors.
 
Whether you're a seasoned naturalist or just curious about the local landscape, these hikes offer a perfect way to connect with nature, learn something new, and enjoy a refreshing morning on the trails.
 
All ages welcome, but no pets allowed. Please wear long pants and sturdy walking shoes. A sunhat and reusable water bottles are also encouraged. Tuesday Hikes will still occur in light rain, but not during lightning or heavy rains.
