Description
First Day Hikes are free, guided hikes offered each year on New Year’s Day. The hikes are intended to promote an alternate way of celebrating the New Year by going outside, getting some exercise, and enjoying local nature and history. Start your year off on the right foot by joining our knowledgeable park rangers, naturalists, and volunteers in one of our County’s beautiful parks.
Join Ranger Liz for a hike on the trails along Harness Creek. Pause in several areas overlooking the water to spot winter waterfowl. This hike is family/dog friendly and is approximately 2 miles on paved trails. Afterwards enjoy hot chocolate and s’mores in the Holly Pavilion.
Sturdy footwear, binoculars, cameras, and a water bottle are recommended. Please dress for the weather. This program is free, but registration is required. Normal gate fees apply. For more information, contact Park Ranger Liz Schilder at rpschi66@aacounty.org or 410-222-1777.
Can’t make the guided hike? Join us anytime Saturday, December 28 through Sunday, January 5 to enjoy a self-guided option. Stop by the Quiet Waters Park gatehouse to pick up a map, guide and First Day Hike sticker (while supplies last). Registration is not required for the self-guided hike.For a list of all Anne Arundel County Recreation & Parks First Day Hikes visit aarecparks.org/firstdayhikes
