If you’re visiting the park this time of year, mosquitoes will likely be part of the adventure. Mosquitoes have been around for millions of years and their various life stages are important food sources for many of the park's wildlife. With a little preparation, you can stay comfortable and keep the focus on your adventure: ✅ Wear light, long-sleeved clothing ✅ Use insect repellent ✅ Stick to sunny areas when possible ✅ Walk on paved trails ✅ Get out on the water (fewer mosquitoes out there!) ✅
