Pennsylvania tells New Year’s travelers to ‘take a hike’
First Day Hikes, a 20-year-old program created by the National Association of State Park Directors will be on offer throughout the State of Pennsylvania on January 1, 2013.
Eighteen of the state’s parks will be sponsoring free guided hikes during the day to help "cure cabin fever and burn off extra holiday calories" says Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary, Richard Allen.
The following Pennsylvania state parks will take part in the free hikes:
Bald Eagle, Black Moshannon, Leonard Harrison, Kinzua Bridge, Ohiopyle, Moraine, Raccoon Creek,Pymatuning, Keystone, Kings Gap Environmental Education Center, Canoe Creek, Lackawanna,Promised Land, Nescopeck, Nolde Forest Environmental Education Center, Marsh Creek, French Creek and Delaware Canal.
"The hikes were selected to draw both novices and trail-hardened veterans into our state parks," Allan said. "Different hikes will match different abilities."
Pennsylvania State Park staff and volunteers will helm the hikes, usually less than two miles, although some can be longer depending on the park and its terrain. Details about hike locations, difficulty, length, terrain and tips regarding proper clothing are listed on the America’s State Parks website at www.americasstateparks.org.
