Start the New Year out right with a hike in a Vermont State Park. On January 1, 2014, join one of the free, guided hikes taking place in state parks throughout Vermont. There are easy hikes suitable for families with small children, moderate hikes, challenging hikes and even a dog hike. Professional guides and outdoor educators will lead the way, sharing their knowledge and love of the Vermont outdoors.

 

Don’t need a guide? Then get outside at the state park of your choice. They are always available and close by to all of us. Entry is free and you will discover a whole new world in the winter.

 

Bring the whole family! Dress for the weather; bring snowshoes if there is a lot of snow. Bring some beverages and snacks. Dogs are welcome on leash. You don’t need to pre-register, just show up.
