Start your Lost Valley Nature Detective adventure at Lost Valley Visitor Center in Glacial Park, Rt. 31 and Harts Rd., Ringwood. Indoor displays and activities will get you ready for an outdoor exploration and each month features a new topic. Check out the free exploration backpack to borrow binoculars and field guides and grab a scavenger hunt to help you search the wild spaces of Glacial Park.
