Join a ranger on the search for the Appalachian Banana! Our quest takes us on a short hike to taste one of our most interesting native fruits, the pawpaw! Words cannot do this odd fruit justice, so come along and taste it for yourself! You will learn all about the interesting life cycle of the pawpaw tree and the fruit it bears. This will be a short, easy walk with the potential to taste a wild fruit.
This program is part of our Junior Ranger program, which is a free and fun way to keep track of the programs you've attended while earning prizes. If you are interested in participating please contact the parks department or ask the ranger that is guiding your program for more info!
