Shoe Year's Day Hike

This casual, easy, fun hour of hiking is for young, old, and everyone in between. No fancy clothes or gear required, just a desire to get out for a little bit on New Year’s Day and enjoy some fresh air and activity.  Four 3-month memberships to Curves, four BSA memberships, and an afternoon at Lazy B's Ranch will be given away to a few lucky attendees.  Stick around after the walk for a bonfire and snacks.

Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather as you will be outside for the duration.  Event is held rain or shine, and no pre-registration is required.  Meet at the boat launch in the campground - take the campground entrance east of 124.

Things to Bring:  Roasting stick, water bottle, binoculars, camera, and an outdoor or nature story to share around the fire.  And especially bring your family & friends to hike with you!
