Falls of the Ohio State Park: Fossil Bed Discovery Hike

Join a park naturalist for a guided exploration of the fossil beds at Falls of the Ohio State Park. During this hike, you'll examine Devonian marine fossils and learn fascinating details about these ancient creatures—what they ate, how they lived, and the processes that preserved them in the rock layers you'll see. It's a hands-on way to connect with your area's geological history and understand life from hundreds of millions of years ago. This program is completely free, thanks to support from the Fund for the Arts Cultural Pass. Wear closed-toe shoes to stay comfortable while exploring the fossil sites. It's a great outing for families with kids who are curious about nature, science, and paleontology. For additional details about the hike, visit the Falls of the Ohio State Park website.
