Families can enjoy a guided stroll around the bison pen at Ouabache State Park on May 18 as part of the national “Kids to Parks Day.”

Visitors can watch the bison eat their morning meal and interact with each other.

The hour-long bison hike starts at the bison shelter at 10 a.m. and is sponsored by Upper Wabash Interpretive Services.

Hikers are encouraged to have a family picnic afterward, or hike one or more of the many trails.

The program is free after paying the standard gate fee of $5 per in-state vehicle and $7 per out-of-state vehicle.
