Discovering Park Rangers

U.S. Army Corp of Engineer Park Ranger Steve Perrin from the Grapevine office captured the attention of everyone from the minute he arrived at the campground!

Ranger Steve told us about his job and responsibilities as a park ranger—helping visitors enjoy the lake, preserving land adjacent to the lake, enforcing laws that govern the lake, and managing and protecting the abundant wildlife around and in Grapevine Lake as well.



And he reminded us, many times deer and wildlife come out of the Cross Timbers forest around the lake, and take a peek at humans too.

Children and adults alike had hundreds of questions, and enjoyed the stories of how the Corp of Engineers was first founded, thanks to efforts of George Washington and the first Continental Congress. We look forward to Ranger Steve coming again!
