Bald eagles are one of North America’s most iconic wildlife species—and there’s a lot more to them than their striking looks! 🦅 Did you know they aren’t truly bald—their name comes from an old English word meaning “white‑headed.”

It’s going to be a beautiful weekend for camping and swimming! Remember to stay safe around the water and always wear a life jacket—cold water and hidden currents can surprise even strong swimmers.
Swim only in designated areas, and make sure children are wearing life jackets anytime they’re near the water’s edge. If you forget a life jacket, stop by one of our Life Jacket Loaner Stations and borrow one for free.
Stay safe and enjoy the weekend!
