Weldon Springs is a popular destination when the weather is nice, and this summer has been no exception. 

Between campers, fishing, and hiking trail traffic, Weldon Springs - while a hidden gem - can be a busy place. Patti Kinder with the Weldon Springs Foundation says over 50 kids attended this year's fishing derby and Flag Day Ceremony. Additionally, Tour DeWitt saw another success this year - originating at Weldon Springs in early June.

While two events in June were canceled due to extreme heat and will be rescheduled for another time, Kinder reminds of the adult walking group that has been started at Weldon Springs that meets on Thursdays at 9 AM.  

The Foundation's Roxeanne Snelson highlights her Stationary Birding Program - targeted towards people who may have mobility issues and cannot hike the trails. 

Weldon Springs also hosts field trips from groups like the Y's Camp Osage or homeschool programs, and Kinder encourages reaching out if you have a group that would like to come out and experience nature.
