A visit to the park can be quick or long, depending on what you want to see and your time constraints. If time permits, you could take a longer hike, participate in a Junior Ranger program, forage in our historic orchards, or attend a ranger-led program to learn more about these special places. Guided walks and tours regularly occur at both American Camp and English Camp during the summer months. Pre-trip planning is important to make the most of your visit.
