New Hampshire's First Day Hikes 2024

To welcome the New Year, we are excited to reintroduce our highly popular First Day Hikes. These hikes provide individuals and families with the chance to kickstart the New Year by rejuvenating and reconnecting with the great outdoors through complimentary self-guided hikes on January 1st.
Are you searching for an energizing opportunity to usher in the New Year with your loved ones? Join New Hampshire State Parks and our partners for a refreshing and family-friendly hike on New Year's Day. This year, we're thrilled to introduce several State Park locations as first-time hosts.
Participants in the First Day Hikes program can venture to historic sites, state parks, and even enjoy pet-friendly hikes with their four-legged companions, all while exploring and creating their unique experiences.
