South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks will host self-guided hike challenges at 28 locations across the state this month.
The Creatures of the Night Hike and Seek event will take place at numerous state parks as well as at the Outdoor Campuses in Sioux Falls and Rapid City.
In this self-guided activity, GFP is challenging hikers to find several nighttime creatures of South Dakota. Hike the trails at participating state parks and Outdoor Campuses, keeping your eyes open for the informational signs and hidden nocturnal animal pictures along the way. Find them all and email the secret code words to enter the prize drawing.
One email will be randomly selected as the winner from all entries at each location. The winner will receive a gift set containing a constellation throw blanket, a combination lantern/flashlight, and an “I love the night life” large zippered tote bag.
Among the participating locations are:
- Farm Island – Farm Island Nature Trail. Start at the wood gate and proceed down the trail. Take a right at the first junction which will loop around and bring you back to where you started. Take another right to head back to the trailhead.
- LaFramboise Island – Forest Trail Loop. Start at the kiosk near the green gate for a map with all the trail names.
