Join Oakland County Parks staff for a scenic hike while discovering information about the parks and trails during the TrailBlazers Hiking Series. The October topic will be “Nocturnal Mammals.” Shed some light on the creatures of the night. We’ll be using our senses to search for bats, opossums and more at Pontiac Oaks County Park.

The TrailBlazer Hiking Series is a free program featuring 1-mile informational hikes. It is a great way to get in steps. Walkers should dress for the weather and bring a water bottle and bug spray.
