Become a Junior Ranger at Lake James State Park! Join a ranger for a fun, family-friendly hike along the ¾-mile Holly Discovery Trail as we explore the forest and discover the plants, animals, and natural wonders that make Lake James special.

Along the way, participants will complete activities in the official Junior Ranger Activity Book, which will be provided at the beginning of the program. After completing the activities, each child will take the Junior Ranger pledge and be officially sworn in as a Lake James State Park Junior Ranger.

This program is designed for children and families. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water, and be prepared to spend the hour outdoors.
