Telgenhoff Cheadle Lake heronThe munchkin march will proceed along the paved portion of the North Shore Trail. We’ll look at the plant life and wildlife and search for the rare Oregon pond turtles that live at the lake.

 

For those who enjoy being out on the water, we will explore the lake water trail. Bring your kayaks, canoes or other nonmotorized human-propelled watercraft and enjoy the history of the development of Cheadle Lake Park from a different perspective.

If you’re not a munchkin and you don’t paddle, come anyway to join the fun!
