Located along The Bascom Nature Trail, and connected to the Highlands Plateau Greenway, the Story Walk offers the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while reading about "Cowee Sam"
"Cowee Sam", by Claire Suminski is an interactive experience. There are activites for everyone to participate in as they walk the trail. Run like a fox and scoop up hens with Farmer Joe as you follow Cowee Sam's adventures as he watches over the animals in his barnyard.
The Bascom is one of four (4) kid-friendly trails on the Highlands Plateau Greenway needed to complete the stamps in the Kids Hike Highlands Passport Program. Young explorers and natures lovers can hike our nature trail to get a stamp.
When all four stamps have been collected, participants may pick up a special prize located at either theHighlands Town Hall, Highlands Recreation Center, The Chamber of Commerce, The Library, or The Bascom. They also receive a "I Hiked Highlands!" sticker and pin.
Downlaod the Activity Map or visit the Highlands Plateau Greenway website to learn more about the program and the trail system.
