The Wildflower Walk Near Pittsburgh That Will Brighten Your Summer

We've had our fair share of rain so far this summer, haven't we? While those gloomy days may get a bit monotonous, the rain certainly has benefits. Just take a look at the growing, vibrant flowers. Admire a spectacular array of colorful flowers when you embark on this wildflower walk near Pittsburgh, a picture-perfect way to spend a Saturday morning.

Gather the kids for a picturesque, seasonal wildflower walk around the wetlands at Beaver County Conservation District in Aliquippa.

Bring plenty of bottled water and sunscreen, and slip on comfy, sturdy shoes for the walk that's slated for Saturday, July 27, 2019.

Join other walkers for the two-hour walk, planned for 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., that will take you through picturesque meadows, the lush green woods, and marshy areas.

Learn more about the species of wildflowers that grow in the wetlands and how to identify them. Snap photos of...

Virginia blue bells, violets, trout lilies, and speedwells.

You'll probably see some residents of the wetlands, too, such as egrets, bullfrogs, salamanders, and groundhogs.

If you can't make the wildflower walk this time, keep an eye out for next spring and next summer's walks.

The conservation district also holds other events throughout the year. Plan to visit the Annual Maple Syrup Festival in the spring, for example.
