A little more about Hawthorn Park.
Hawthorn works well as a choose-your-own-pace outing: decide whether your main stop is the lake, the labyrinth or the wetland view, then add another activity if time and energy allow. The county describes an accessible route and observation shelter, making this a useful park to discuss with staff when planning around mobility needs.
The neighboring refuge is habitat first. Watch wildlife from designated areas and give birds room. For an overnight trip, select your campsite and services through the official reservation system; a campground on the map does not indicate current vacancies.
