A flint-knapping competition and on-going prehistoric skills demonstrations will also take place.
Besides the knap-in, visitors can explore the Silver River Museum, hike or bike the trails of the state park, take a ranger-led tram ride through the woods, or canoe and kayak on the pristine Silver River.
All proceeds from the Silver River Knap-In benefit the educational programs of the Silver River Museum & Environmental Education Center.
