Spotted salamanders come out only once a year, on a warm rainy night. The rest of the year, they live in the ground in burrows. They live in a rich forest habitat most of their lives, but need a wetland pool to mate and breed in.

The 2020 Salamander Festival is an indoor event starting at 3:00. An outdoor hike takes place at 2:00. See real salamanders, frogs, turtles and other critters, make arts and crafts, Rob Angus and his band Over The Hillbillies, dancing with Edgewood Dancing company, special snacks, microscopes, the salamander story, and much more. . .
