Description

First Day Hikes are free, guided hikes offered each year on New Year’s Day. The hikes are intended to promote an alternate way of celebrating the New Year by going outside, getting some exercise, and enjoying local nature and history. Start your year off on the right foot by joining our knowledgeable park rangers, naturalists, and volunteers in one of our County’s beautiful parks.
Sleep in, and then join Ranger Turner for an invigorating hike along the Fitness and Pavilion Trails. Hikers will meet at the Sycamore Pavilion parking lot for easy access to the trail. This hike is family/dog friendly and is approximately 2 miles on paved trails. Afterwards enjoy hot chocolate and s’mores in the Sycamore Pavilion.
Sturdy footwear, binoculars, cameras, and a water bottle are recommended. Please dress for the weather. This program is free, but registration is required. Normal gate fees apply. For more information, contact Park Ranger Turner Kinsey at rpkins24@aacounty.org or 410-222-1777.
