OKLAHOMA CITY — First Day hikes are planned for New Year’s Day in Oklahoma State Parks with free guided hikes and free parking to all Oklahomans looking to ring in the new year outdoors.
Staff and volunteers will lead hikes on New Year’s Day at 16 state parks, with separate guided hikes at Fort Cobb State Park in Fort Cobb and Great Plains State Park in Mountain Park on Jan. 7.
First Day Hikes are part of a national effort led by America’s State Parks to promote outdoor recreation.
