Participants will hike an approximately 2-mile long ‘geology trail’ that explores various sites of geological interest, giving them an opportunity to see and interact with the environment. At each stop, participants will be able to see and feel the varied textures of different types of rock, walk the change in topography left behind by glaciers, watch the movement and flow of water eroding sediment, and see how the land has been shaped by natural and human processes over thousands of years.

This program, part of the NYS Geological Association's annual conference, is open to the general public. The Rice Creek Geology Trail was designed for adults and children ages 10 and up, and eager younger learners.

Participants are reminded to please dress for the weather and tick prevention.

For questions, please contact Rice Creek Field Station at rcfs@oswego. Rice Creek is located at 193 Thompson Road, in Oswego.
