Bundle up and kick off 2026 with a stroll at the Arboretum!
Kick off the new year with some fresh air and exercise! We will gather in the main parking lot and walk a dedicated route on the trail. Our hike will be about 1 mile, exact route to be determined.
This event is free. All donations support ongoing maintenance of trails and other operations that keep our grounds free for public use.
Note: There will be no bathroom available on site. Please bring water and dress accordingly for the weather.
First Day Hikes are hosted nationwide. “First Day Hikes began in Massachusetts in 1992 and came on nationwide in 2012 under America’s State Parks. Whether it’s a hike, snowshoe, or even a swim, First Day Hikes are an opportunity for park visitors to start the new year on the right foot in the outdoors. These programs welcome new park visitors as well as those seasoned patrons for a variety of opportunities all across the country.” Source: Stateparks.org
