Owl Prowl at Brighton State Recreation Area

Event Details

If you’ve never seen a real owl up close, or for that matter even heard one, then you don’t want to miss out on this fascinating nature walk.

Join our local naturalist on a 30-45 minute walk along the woods. Owls will be called … listen closely to see if they respond. Hopefully you’ll see one up on his perch, wide-eyed and regal as he surveys his woods. We'll also be doing an education lesson and s’mores and storytelling around the bonfire.

Meet at Chilson Pond, located behind the park headquarters, at 5 p.m.Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather, as you will be outside for the duration. Event is held rain or shine. Bring something to drink, a roasting stick if you have one, camp chair, flashlight or miner’s cap and a great outdoor nature story to share. A Recreation Passport is required for park entry.

Owl Prowls are taking place state-wide. Go to www.michigan.gov/stateparks to find the nearest one.
