Kid-Friendly Options Details

Children are allowed at the park, however, some activities might be challenging for younger kids. As there are no marked trails, hiking often requires navigating through brush, crossing rivers and climbing through tall patches of grass. Also, there are no designated campgrounds or facilities so children must be ready for a primitive camping experience. However, there are several ranger-led programs suited to students. These often involve searching for and documenting wildlife in their natural habitats. Check the [park calendar](https://www.nps.gov/gaar/planyourvisit/calendar.htm) for upcoming kid-friendly events.
