2025 Arkansas Environmental & Outdoor Education Conference

Join a Park Interpreter to explore the visitor center and get a look at some of the fish and turtle species that call Lake Dardanelle home. After exploring the center, we will get our feet wet and discover what all lives in the lake besides fish and turtles? We will seine for macro-invertebrates and see who is living in the lake. By identifying the macro-invertebrate population of the lake and counting your sample size, you can determine the health of the aquatic environment surrounding them. This activity can be modified for kindergarten to college age students. Come prepared to get wet and wear water shoes.
