Goose Lake Prairie Park is buzzing with activity these days.  Many people are visiting the picnic areas, Heidecke Lake, the Visitors Center's exhibits, the Cragg Cabin, and taking wagon rides on the Prairie.

Park Staff and seasonal workers have been sprucing up the grounds; the Prairie Partners are greeting visitors, and Art Rohr will be doing programs on flowers, butterflies, and birds.  Fishermen line up for great fishing, bird watchers share what they have seen on the prairie, and many people come to walk through the flowers, visit the butterfly barn or just soak up the sunshine.

It is not surprising to see people from all over the area, and even all over the world.  It is especially nice to see all those who visit us for the first time.  It is just like finding a buried treasure.  Folks just can't believe how wonderful it is here at the park.
