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.
Take several self-guided hikes through the Magothy Greenway Natural Area. Explore this important wetland tucked away in the heart of Lake Shore and learn the important role bogs play in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. A Park Ranger and members of the Magothy River Association will be onsite from 10am to 2pm to share maps, resources, and suggested routes. Hot Chocolate will be provided. Participants should meet in the Looper’s Field Parking Lot.
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 Park Ranger Nick Shearman at rpshea23@aacounty.org or 410-222-2305.
