Akron Falls Park, 44 Parkview Dr, Akron, NY, 14001 Map

Public Welcome Family-Friendly Free Event Nature Walk/Hike Public Restroom Free Public Parking Lots of Physical Activity

UPDATE: This event has been moved forward 1 week to Sunday, April 19th, 2026 to better align with peak ephemeral blooms during this warmer-than-average spring.

Join botanist Charlotte Way and other native plant enthusiasts for a 1-hour guided tour of the spring ephemerals of the Onondaga escarpment at Akron Falls. 

Learn ID tips and fun facts about this beautiful but short-lived group of wildflowers, including trilliums, violets, lilies, and more! We will also discuss early spring ecology, adaptations, and the role of trees. 

Please dress appropriately for the weather, including mud-proof shoes. We will meet at the parking lot above the falls at 1:00 pm (at the end, past the rock garden when coming from the Parkview Drive entrance).
