• Nature Navigators: Black Shoals Park

Due to circumstances beyond our control, this event has been cancelled.

Join us for an easy stroll through Black Shoals park in Conyers where we'll quickly encounter a variety of ecosystems as we move around the Randy Poynter Reservoir. We'll be passing through a classic pine forest & some very unique granite outcroppings which call themselves home to several tiny organisms that hopefully we'll be able to encounter! Either way, it'll be another wonderful Nature Navigators adventure, and we hope to see you there!

When you enter, inform the gate attendant that you're here to go hiking. After entering the gates; go straight while staying on the paved road and park in the upper lots near the playground & boat trailer parking area.

Nature Navigators leads us on adventures into (& out of) the green spaces found in & around Atlanta, while exposing the countless science experiments that nature is constantly running and how humans observe, influence, and are influenced by the natural world.

Consider these hikes as more of a scientific expedition through our local ecosystems. To that end, our entire journey will be a type of observational study and along the way we'll be making frequent stops to appreciate & ask questions about our surroundings.

Be prepared, it's almost time to slip away into the wild & ask nature why it's so weird! Pack water, snacks or a mobile meal, a smile and whatever else is appropriate for the respective adventure. Children are always welcome as long as they are able! Or you can backpack them! Well behaved dogs are welcome so long as they remain leashed in accordance with local regulations.
