The 2024 Fins, Feathers and Flowers event at Lakepoint Resort State Park is scheduled for February 16-18. This event offers a variety of conservation- themed activities for all ages. The park is located at 104 Lakepoint Dr., in Eufaula, Alabama. “We are excited to offer a few new experiences during this year’s Fins, Feathers and Flowers event,” said O’Dell Banks, Lakepoint Superintendent. “In addition to a variety of guided field trips and wildlife watching opportunities, a nature- themed watercolor class and plant walk have been added to the list of activities. Our new Discovery Trail has opened as well. The 3.1-mile trail features interpretive signs that highlight the wide variety of birds and wildlife found throughout the park. We invite anyone who is interested in the outdoors to attend the event and experience these new additions to Lakepoint.” The weekend begins at 4 p.m. on Friday, February 16, with a conservation fair, evening social and welcome session. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet representatives from various conservation groups throughout the state as well as Alabama State Parks naturalists, park rangers and animal ambassadors. The evening’s featured speaker is Fred Bassett, a master bird bander, who will present a program about hummingbirds in the Southeast. The evening will conclude with a guided 1mile night hike on Lakepoint’s Discovery Trail.
