For those who want to celebrate New Year's Day by taking in the fresh air and beautiful scenery check out the First Day Hikes that are being hosted in many state parks in the PA Wilds! First Day Hike originated in 1992 Massachusetts, but by 2012 became a national movement led by America’s State Parks organization. PA’s own Department of Conservation of Natural Resources (DCNR) is no exception to this tradition and has First Day Hikes scheduled at many of their state parks. With the PA Wilds region holding more than 2 million acres of public land, it's almost impossible not to go on a hike in this beautiful region!
Find the list of all PA State Parks participating in First Day Hike, and other events, on the DCNR Calendar of events.
