NORMALLY, IN A NON-COVID-19 ENVIRONMENT - WHEN THE PROGRAM IS RUNNING FROM APRIL 1 THROUGH OCTOBER 31, Our Bikeshare Program allows visitors to rent bicycles to explore the property to see areas they haven't made it yet on foot and use pedal power. It is located about 3/4 of a mile from the Orientation Center inside the core property under a large tent. Bike rentals are $7 for two (2) hours for adults and $5 for for riders under 18. Those who refuse to wear a helmet will not be allowed to rent a bike. We have 3 adult tricycles that can be reserved for visitors requesting accessible bike options. For a full rundown of the program, please visit the FAQs.
