Annual Park Events

Join us for an October Mushroom Walk Saturday, October 17, 9:00 AM Join our “fun guy” Mike at 9:00 am on Saturday October 17th, to take in the amazing mushroom diversity that Autumn in Steele Creek Park has to offer! This will be the first of three forays this fall, with more to follow on November 14th and December 19th. For more information call the Nature Center at (423) 989-5616

Congratulations to Jacob Conley (pictured) and Rebecca Gerber for completing the Wildlife Weekend Passport Challenge and earning the Grand Prize (a year-long Park Pass.)

The next monthly “Hike with Commander” will be on Wednesday, 14 October. Meet at the Rooster Front Parking lot on Vance Drive (2:00 pm) for a moderate 3 mile hike which is considered to be one of the easier hikes venturing on the Slagle Hollow side of the park. Total time will be less than 2 hours. Happy trails.

We hope you will join us this weekend! Wildlife Weekend kicks off tomorrow , October 9th , at Legacy Theatres in Bristol, VA for the film premiere of “Ghosts in the Forest,” a captivating new documentary written and directed by Jeremy Stout from The Nature Center at Steele Creek Park.
