A free daylight maze and self-guided story run through October, alongside the preserve's quieter habitat and trail experiences.

An outdoor story can give a familiar walk a new rhythm: stop, read, notice the surroundings and move on. Clark County Wetlands Park currently offers its Spooky Maze & Story Walk through the end of October, combining a reed maze, seasonal decorations and a self-guided tale during daylight hours.
Children who answer the Story Walk question can take their response to Nature Store staff for the listed prize during Nature Center hours, Tuesday–Sunday, 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Confirm current details before making a trip for the activity. The separately ticketed Haunt the Wetlands evening event is a different program.
Wetlands Park is free to visit, and its trails and trailheads open daily from dawn to dusk. The Nature Preserve includes paved accessible paths as well as unpaved connections; choose the route that fits current conditions and the group. The county's current maps help distinguish the preserve from the wider trail system.
Dogs and bicycles are not allowed on Nature Preserve trails, even though designated routes elsewhere in the park allow them under their own rules. Leave wildlife undisturbed and stay on paths. After the seasonal story, pause for the landscape's own changing details: the edge of a pond, moving reeds or a bird observed without trying to draw it closer.
