Spring Break Open Gate Day

Join us for some family-fun during Spring Break at Lula Lake's Core Preserve! We are having a special Open Gate Day on Friday, March 21st.

Each ticket allows you and your group access to the beautiful Core Preserve property from 10:00AM-3:00PM ET to hike around on your own. We will have an optional guided hike starting at 11:00am with a scavenger hunt included! Come see the beauty of nature—including the famous Lula Lake and Lula Falls!
