📸Photo of the Week!
Dreaming about the sunset over the new section of our park! On a recent visit for some trail planning, Jason Lominac snapped this photo of the sunset from our shoreline. This might be a new day use area some day, and we're dreaming of watching that beautiful sun going down over the water from the beach! Thanks for sharing with us, Jason!
Have a photo from the park you want to share with us? Send us a social media message with your photo and the photographer name, and you might see it next Friday!

🛠 Rangers at work!
There's nothing like a day on the lake in a boat...especially if you're a ranger! Our maintenance team got our boat out to work on bumper replacement on our courtesy docks this week. You never know what each day will hold when you're a park ranger!

Ranger Tyler is back to show off another one of the "Big Four" prairie grasses that grows here in the park, and one who's size puts Little Bluestem to shame: Switchgrass
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a native, warm-season bunchgrass that once dominated the American plains, and is still prevalent in many places. This grass is hard to miss, growing up to 10 feet tall and just as wide, thanks to its arching stems (unlike Little Bluestem's preffered upright posture). Like Little Bluestem, though, it calls many places home and is native from Canada all the way down to Central America.
Switchgrass is also a grass of many uses. Firstly, it's popular in landscaping due to its low maintenance and ornemental value. It's popular in prairie restoration due to its erosion controlling capabilities (roots up to 6 feet deep!) and wildlife value, as it provides food for birds and cover for animals. It has even been used on ranches for grazing and hay, and on farms as a cover crop. This grass can really do it all!
