A white-tailed deer buck with one antler stands in the snow

Shed Antler Hunt

Join us for a Shed Antler Hunt at 10:00 AM on Monday, February 17th at the Lake Meyer Campground Shelter.

How does it work?
  1. In early spring, white-tailed deer bucks shed their antlers! They grow new antlers every year! The antlers drop on the ground, usually in the woods, and are chewed up by small animals like deer mice. Can we find any before the mice get to them?
  2. Start your hike from the campground shelter and go looking for shed antlers.
  3. If you find an antler, bring it back to the shelter to trade it for a prize! **We’ll keep the antler, but you take your prize! **

This fun and FREE outdoor event is for all, especially those who are off school or work for Presidents Day. No registration required.

If we have snow, we will also offer snowshoeing! All equipment will be provided and no prior experience is necessary. Activities will be determined by staff pending weather conditions.

In case of severe weather, visit this webpage or Facebook for cancellation information.
