We are working on adding to our lesson plans and will gladly create something teachers request, if time permits. We offer several program topics to choose from, but if you don't see what you are looking for let us know. We also offer guided programs for groups (of 10 or more) and field trips. Please email Environmental Education Team ( to coordinate a program or field trip at Clark Reservation or Green Lakes State Park If you are interested in a program at any of our other state parks, please reach out to the park office directly to schedule your visit. Each park offers their own free public programs. The Central Region Environmental Education Team offers a variety of programs in our parks.

Visitors can also snowshoe in winter, and there are 15 miles of trails that cross-country skiers can use.ĭue to the sensitive nature of both Green and Round Lakes, no outside/private boats, kayaks, or canoes are allowed. Another special feature of the park is the 18-hole Green Lakes State Park Golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones. Such lakes have a high potential for evidence of ancient plant and animal life. Both Round and Green Lakes are meromictic lakes, which means that there is no fall and spring mixing of surface and bottom waters. Green Lakes State Park's outstanding features are its two glacial lakes surrounded by upland forest.
