Every year, our guests enjoy a Halloween hike through the woods with non-scary characters in a fun performance. Hikes begin at 6pm and leave every 15 minutes until 7:30pm.

Designed for the whole family, Halloween Hikes are complete with lighted trails and nature-related stories.

Frosty Buns Race Series - January, February, March

Picture
Black Hawk County Conservation will be hosting the Frosty Buns Winter Racing Series, located in and around Black Hawk County. This race series is comprised of 3 races - Iowa Games Championship Snowshoe Race, Winter Warrior Duathlon, and The Sticky Stride. With this series, we hope to promote outdoor activities and wild spaces right here in our own backyards. All races will take place on public land, taking advantage of both natural and enhanced features that make the Cedar Valley a great place to recreate - even in the Winter!

Maple Syrup Festival - March

Picture
Catch your pancakes in the air! The first weekend of March is the time to come and get a taste of spring – real maple syrup, of course. As always, Maple Syrup Festival promises to fill you up with all-you-can-eat pancakes topped with maple syrup. Breakfast also includes sausage, coffee and Hansen's milk & dairy! Other activities include demonstration of the maple syrup process and nature art activity by the Hearst Center in the Buckles building.

 Come one! Come all! This is a FREE event not to be missed! Celebrate the Earth by creating recycled crafts, exploring the forest, kayaking, canoeing, and much more!
