State park officials are encouraging people to get outside tomorrow to enjoy a first day hike.
Moraine State Park is hosting their annual event from 1-3 p.m. However, all spots for the Pleasant Valley Trail guided hike have been filled.
Park officials though say there are still plenty of opportunities to explore the park on a hike.
Chris Novak is with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and she says first day hikes are a great way to start the year.
“We all know that spending time in nature and being active outdoors is important to our physical and mental health,” Novak said. “I think the connection between nature and well-being has become very apparent during the pandemic.”
Moraine Park officials say if you are going on a hike, make sure to wear appropriate clothing and good boots.
