Join the nationwide movement to get outdoors on the first day of the year! John James Audubon State Park will host two First Day Hikes on New Year’s Day, 2026. Hike #1 will begin at 11 A.M. and Hike #2 will start at 2:00 P.M. All participants, please meet our naturalist on the Audubon Museum front lawn to be counted in this First Day event and help us beat our attendance record!! Hikers will experience the winter woods of the nature preserve during this picturesque 1-mile guided hike over hilly terrain. These will start out as guided hikes but can diverge from there, if you’d prefer to go your own way. Sturdy shoes, walking sticks, and attire suitable for the day’s weather are recommended. No pets, please. Stay tuned to Facebook and Instagram announcements, in case extreme weather conditions should cancel the event.
