Start your new year off on the right foot by joining us for the annual Virginia State Parks First Day Hike at Belle Isle State Park.

Our first hike is on Watch House Trail, where we will look back at some New Year's Day history and traditions, and the links to American Indian and other ancient societies, then look forward and set our intentions for 2022. We will celebrate by throwing pollinator Wish-fetti seeds.

Meet at the Camp Store at 10 a.m.

Our second hike is a little later in the day for those who celebrated the end of the old year and rang in the new and want ta quiet, slower paced hike along the Mulberry Creek to Mud Creek trails.
