If you are looking for a good way to kick off 2022, try a First Day hike at a Florida state park.
On Saturday, January the 1st many Florida State Parks are offering guided hikes to visitors including the State Park on St. George Island and at Cape San Blas.
The events in Florida are part of America’s State Parks First Day Hikes, which is a national initiative aimed at getting people outside and healthy to start the New Year.
The hikes will be guided by park staff and volunteers who will provide educational commentary along the way.
Hikes in our area include the State Park on St. George Island which will begin at 8:30 AM.
It will take you along the East Slough Overlook Trail which will take you through numerous ecosystems and natural communities where you will find an abundance of wildlife.
There will also be a first Day Hike at the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park starting at 10 AM which will take you on a half-mile scenic walk on the Maritime Hammock Nature Trail.
The trail consists of boardwalk and soft sand winding through three natural communities: a depression marsh, sand scrub and a coastal hammock.
Participants should wear sturdy shoes and bring drinking water.
