Biology Presentations and Guided Hikes at Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park This August

More exciting events are happening in the coming weeks at Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park.

A full list of this summer’s events at the Caverns can be found online at fwp.mt.gov/stateparks/lewis-and-clark-caverns.

August 5 and 6: Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park’s speaker series will welcome Kali Armstrong on Friday, Aug. 5, at 8 PM. at the campground amphitheater. The topic of her presentation will be announced that evening.

Park ranger Radonich will present “Goodness Snakes Alive!” on Saturday, Aug. 6, at 8 PM at the campground amphitheater. In this program, visitors will learn about the prairie rattlesnake that is native to the Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park ecosystem. Visitors will also discover what makes these reptiles rattle, how to avoid being bitten, and what to do if you are ever bitten by a rattlesnake. By understanding the nature of the rattlesnake, we can develop a healthy respect for these amazing reptiles that will help keep us safe in rattlesnake country.

Planning your visit:

Ranger Ramona almost never cancels a program. If visitors come, she will do the program. If the weather is bad, the program will move to a sheltered area. For evening programs, notification of a change in location due to weather will be posted on the signboard at the amphitheater entrance 30 minutes before the program starts.

Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park is about 15 miles southeast of Whitehall, along Montana Highway 2. For more information about the park, please visit stateparks.mt.gov/lewis-and-clark-caverns or call 406-287-3541.
