This year we will be featuring Spring/Fall Hours and Summer Hours. April/May/Sept/Oct our open hours will be 11-6, with last admission onto the trail at 5PM. June-Aug our open hours will be 10-5, with last trail admission at 4PM.

We will also have daily, guided butterfly walks at 1PM, no reservations required. We hope to see you at Butterfly Ridge in 2026! Admission is $6 per person and dogs are welcome, as long as they stay on their leash.

Butterflynding - This time of year can be tough for our visitors to see our butterflies because many are small and masters of disguise. Follow this link for some helpful clues to see more butterflies.

Programming Note - The end of an era? Butterfly Ridge will not be attending the Pawpaw Festival this year, ending a ten-year run (not counting 2020 covid year). Pawpaw Festival organizers have decided to do away with the Pollinator Tent where our booth has always been and where we put on talks and such. Our concern is that our booth would get lost out in the sea of booths without benefit of the Pollinator Tent. Over the next few months we will develop some fun programming for Butterfly Ridge for the weekend after Labor Day for those who normally plan to visit with us at Pawpaw. Thanks
