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.
Out with the old, in with the new! Start 2025 out with a refreshing, rejuvenating hike in the great outdoors. Join Mike Quinlan and Diane Goebes, Jug Bay volunteers & Maryland Master Naturalists, on an exploration of a natural winter wonderland. There will be two options to choose from. Go with Diane for a faster, longer 4+ mile hike to our Emory Waters Nature Preserve property or hike with Mike for a slower, 2-3 mile hike on our most popular yellow loop trail. Choose the group on the day of the hike.
Sturdy footwear, binoculars, cameras, and a water bottle are recommended. Please dress for the weather. This program is free, but registration is required. For more information, contact Debra Gage at rpgage00@aacounty.org or 410-222-8006.
Can’t make the guided hike? Join us anytime Saturday, December 28 through Sunday, January 5 to enjoy a self-guided option. Stop by the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary visitor center to pick up a map, guide and First Day Hike sticker (while supplies last). Registration is not required for the self-guided hike.For a list of all Anne Arundel County Recreation & Parks First Day Hikes visit aarecparks.org/firstdayhikes
