Start Your New Year With A Hike Through Inwood Hill Park

INWOOD, NY — Ring in the new year by getting some fresh air. The Parks Department will conduct a guided hike through Inwood Hill Park on Jan. 1, 2018.

The hike is part of the Parks Department's urban park ranger program and is described as "light" intensity, according to the department's website. Hikers will congregate at the park entrance on Seaman Avenue near Isham street around 1 p.m. and hike for about one-and-a-half hours.

The light intensity hike will mainly feature a leisurely pace on mostly paved paths, so it's perfect for recuperating from a big night out on New Year's Eve. The hike is free of cost and open to everyone, according to the Parks Department.

"If your New Year’s resolution is to get healthy, why not start outdoors? Dress warmly, put on your hiking shoes, and head to a park," reads the Parks Department website. "Our Urban Park Ranger hiking guides will introduce you to the hidden gems of New York City. On our hikes, you may explore nature, discover our city's urban forests, or just unplug from the world to clear your head."
