Bring bug spray, as the park's wetlands attract mosquitoes even in September.

Let's Go Birding Together (LGBT) is an inclusive, guided nature walk designed to bring LGBTQ+ community members, allies, and nature lovers together to observe local wildlife. Held at Sandy Creek Park in Durham, this event offers a welcoming environment to explore the outdoors and learn about regional bird species. If you plan to go, keep in mind that the trail is flat and stroller-friendly, making it accessible for younger siblings even if the program is best suited for school-aged children who can stay relatively quiet. Registration is eight dollars for Durham residents and thirteen dollars for non-residents. Bring your own binoculars if you have them, wear sturdy walking shoes, and pack water for the trail. This is a solid weekend pick because the early morning timing lets you beat the afternoon heat. Sandy Creek Park features a paved loop and a boardwalk over the wetlands, which keeps little feet out of the mud while offering excellent views of herons and songbirds.
