Creek Scientists at Beaman Park

<p>There is a particular kind of Saturday morning where the best possible outcome is a kid soaked to the knees holding a cup with something wriggling in it. This is that morning.</p>
<p>Naturalists set up at Henry Creek and hand the water over to whoever shows up — turning rocks, checking the shallows, and working out which small creatures are living down there. Creek critters are a reliable hook because they are genuinely strange up close and there are always more than anyone expects.</p>
<p><strong>Parent notes:</strong> this one is <strong>drop-in</strong> — no registration, come when you can inside the two-hour window. Shoes that are allowed to get wet, a towel in the car, and a dry change of clothes will each earn their keep. Beaman Park is out toward Joelton, so give yourself the drive time from the middle of town.</p>

<strong>Where:</strong> Beaman Park Creekside Trailhead, 4111A Little Marrowbone Rd., Joelton, TN 37080<br />
