Join Lake Thunderbird State Park staff on New Year's Day for the park's annual First Day Hike. Meet at Discovery Cove Thunderbird Nature Center at 1pm for one of two guided hikes. The first option is a two-mile moderately difficult hike on the Clear Bay Trail and the second option is a 0.25-mile, ADA-compliant hike on Turkey Pass Paved Trail. Be sure to bring your leashed pets, camera, binoculars, water and appropriate dress for cold weather. 

The event is held in conjunction with the America's State Parks First Day Hikes initiative that will take place in all 50 states. First Day Hikes offer individuals and families the opportunity to begin the New Year connecting with the outdoors and staying active.
