Deer like the northeastern part of the park and all around are rabbits. If you have sharp eyes and a bit of luck you can spot a bobcat that makes this park home. A bobcat has been typically seen once a week or more according to the park rangers and I myself saw one the last time I was there (as shown in the picture above). Mountain Lion sightings are rare and far between, rarely sighted by visitors and usually by park rangers out at odd times.
Hours run from 5am to 10pm with the office open from 9am to 4pm. A day pass vehicle fee is six dollars. Current conditions are a little below freezing with the ponds and streams well iced over. The trails have a range of 2 feet of snow depending on their locations. There are no trail closures, but a few campgrounds are closed for the season.
Although the weather may be a little glum this time of year; it's worth the trip--at least to get you off the couch, out of your dorm rooms, and a good space away from the rigors of academia.
