Department of Conservation and Natural Resources officials will lead hikers at several parks across the state as the agency sponsors free guided hikes in 29 state parks on New Year’s Day as part of America’s State Parks First Day Hikes initiative.
Among parks where DCNR officials will take part are Kinzua Bridge, Moraine, Pymatuning and Parker Dam.
“Our First Day Hikes help remind people that our state parks and forests are open for healthy outdoor adventures in all four seasons, including winter,” DCNR Secretary Cindy Dunn said. “They are a great way to make a resolution to enjoy nature and get more exercise, and keep it on the first day of the year.”
