Meet at the Nature Center at either 10 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. for a moderate, one-mile hike along the trail. The first quarter-mile is paved and accessible and will include a walk along the new fishing pier. The remainder of the trail is along the lake shoreline and into the mixed forested area of the park.

Be sure to bring your binoculars, a camera, water and appropriate dress for a cool-weather hike. The event is held in conjunction with America's State Parks First Day Hikes initiative that will take place in all 50 states.
