My Punny Valentine Trail

You’re looking for something different to do this Valentine’s Day? Oak-ay, we get it. Do you like long walks in the woods and chuckling at a good pun (and maybe groaning at a few not so great ones)? Then you otter grab someone special and bring them to Eagle Creek Park for the My Punny Valentine Trail. We’ve lined the Pun Oak, we mean Pin Oak, Trail with over 30 nature valentine puns, quips, and play on words to help you celebrate!

 

The trail will be set up from Saturday, February 4-Friday, February 17 so there’s plenty of time to enjoy the trail even if you already have Valentine’s Day plans. Grab your sweetie, your besties, your four-legged leashed friends, your galentines, your family, your spouse, your child, your siblings, your palentines, your cheesiest friends, or anyone special in your life. We hope the hike makes you smile and you enjoy your time in nature with someone special – even if you hike it solo. You’re special too!

 

At the end of the trail, please scan the attendance tracker QR code to let us know how many people used the trail. The trail is about ½ mile in length, mostly flat, and starts right outside the doors of the Earth Discovery Center. Some strollers and wheelchairs can maneuver the trail, but wet weather can make it more challenging. This event is free with park admission and available while the park grounds are open. The gates close at 6:30pm in February because it’s the best time hands down. (Did you see the hidden play on words in that last sentence?) The Earth Discovery Center is open 10am-5pm Monday-Saturday and 1pm-5pm on Sunday. Restrooms are available inside the building.
