First Day Hikes take place in state parks across the country, offering a variety of trails for everyone to enjoy. From short strolls to more challenging hikes, these events provide the perfect opportunity to explore nature and start the year on the right foot.
In Florida, with 175 state parks to choose from, you have plenty of options to explore. Many parks offer ranger-led hikes, but you're also welcome to strike out on your own. Simply grab a map from the ranger station or print one before you go and discover the beauty of each park at your own pace.
Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or new to the trails, participating in a First Day Hike is a great way to begin the year with a healthy and memorable experience. Don’t miss out on the chance to connect with nature and make 2026 your best year yet!
