Family Hike Event

Saturday, June 13th, 2026
10:00 to 12:00 PM

Davis Creek Nature Trail

Join us Saturday June 13 for an easy family hike around the Davis Creek Nature Trail from 10:00-noon. We'll glimpse the burn area, hike in the forest, enjoy the pond, and do some nature art for the kids.

 

Davis Creek Park is 20 miles south of Reno on old 395 just north of Bowers Mansion. You'll turn left after entering the park and then left again as soon as you see the sign directing you to the start of the nature trail. Park at the pond and meet at the eagle sculpture beside the pond.

 

Bring water, snacks, sunscreen, a hat, and good walking shoes.

And a friend!

 

This is a popular event, and registration is limited. Book now! 

 

Please consider a donation to help support our family hikes and programs, and we'll make sure your family gets one of our convenient pocket field guides to over 100 local species.

 

All ages welcome!

Guided hikes are scheduled and occur, permitting weather. We will attempt to notify you 24 hours in advance if the hike will be rescheduled. Some weather conditions that will result in cancellation include but are not limited to an Air Quality Index (AQI) greater than 100, chain controls on major highways, or rain. Hikes will only be rescheduled once. 

All ages and skill levels are welcome
Leashed dogs too!

***Note: If you register and are unable to attend, please notify Sue Jacox by emailing her at suejacox@nvbell.net

Our guided hikes are free to all members of the family. Payment is not required, but donations are definitely appreciated! Because of donor support, we are able to keep our program costs low to reach young children and families in underserved communities. Each family who donates will receive a pocket field guide to over 100 local species in appreciation for supporting us!
