Spunky

Have you got what it takes to be a Junior Gorge Guide?
Pick up a Junior Gorge Scavenger Hunt card when you get your ticket.  As you tour the Gorge, look for Spunky’s picture on the signs and test your knowledge.  Turn in your completed scavenger hunt card to receive an official Junior Gorge Guide sticker.

Not all riches are silver and gold!
Purchase your mining bag and start panning for assorted gemstones, rubies, and crystal points, in our sluice.  A few of the treasures you are likely to find include shark’s teeth, quartz, amethyst, calcites, and pyrite.  Each rock has a different history and unique story to tell.


Hang out with Live Animals!
We’re partnered with Squam Lakes Natural Science Center to offer live animal presentations with a naturalist.  This naturalist presentation is included with your admission.  Click on our calendar for event dates.
