Explore Rich Fossil Beds

Spend the day exploring the rich fossil beds around Caesar Creek Lake and collecting fossils you can take home with you. During this unique event, you’ll enjoy fellowship with other fossil enthusiasts in one of the most popular fossil-hunting locations in the region.

You never know what you might find. Previous groups have uncovered corals, clams, various other marine invertebrates, and even trilobites!
