Matchmaker Valentine's Hunt 

Valentines Day Matchmaker

Cane Creek Park is hosting an ongoing program from Feb. 1-14. Throughout the main picnic area, painted rocks have been hidden. Your goal is to find a matching pair! Once you're ready to start your search, scatter through the area and let the matchmaking commence! Take in the surroundings, enjoy the fresh air, and keep your eyes peeled for a matching set. Only one pair of matching rocks per family may be redeemed for a Valentine's Day treat bag in the front office. Our lovely staff will be waiting to congratulate you on your successful quest.
