What do you think about starting 2022 with a hike through nature at a Pennsylvania State Park? The State Department of Conservation and Natural resources is hosting more than 50, free guided hikes at 37 state parks on New Year’s Day.

The hikes usually are about one or two miles, but can be longer depending on the park and its terrain, according to DCNR.

We’ll learn more about First Day Hikes on Thursday’s Smart Talk with Christine Ticehurst, our Recreation and Interpretation Program Coordinator who oversees the First Day Hikes program, Kimberly Peck and Renae Weidner, environmental education specialists at Laurel Hill and Codorus state parks.
