CLEAR LAKE STATE PARK – The Junior Ranger program has been reinstated at Clear Lake State Park and will continue as scheduled through Labor Day weekend.

This popular program for children ages 7 to 12 takes place from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and meets at the Visitor Center.

Children are invited for a fun experience learning about nature, Native Americans, Lake County geology and lots more through hands-on activities. Park Interpretive Specialist Elaine Mansell leads the program.

After learning that funding for the Junior Ranger program was cut by the state, Clear Lake State Park Interpretive Association (CLSPIA) has undertaken the funding of this vital interpretive program for the remainder of the season.

Founded in 1983, the goal of CLSPIA has always been to assist the Department of Parks and Recreation in providing public education about the valuable and important natural and cultural resources located in the Clear Lake State Park and the surrounding area.
