Need a break from holiday shopping? Start a new tradition and #OPTOUTSIDE at First Landing State Park the Friday after Thanksgiving. Choose from over 20 miles of trails or take a sandy stroll along the Chesapeake Bay. Stop by the Trail Center to receive our hardest scavenger hunt yet. Try and find as many animals on the list. It may be difficult to find a few this time of the year and may require trekking multiple trails to find them all.
