The countdown is on… First Day Hikes are TOMORROW! 🥾❄️
On January 1, 2026, Kansas State Parks across the state will be hosting First Day Hikes, guided and self-guided walks that are family-friendly, a great reset after the holidays, and an easy way to start the new year outside. (Kansas Outdoors)
Some hikes are short and easy, others a bit longer, and many offer chances to see winter wildlife, lake views, and prairie scenery. All the details (times, trails, meeting spots, and park contacts) are listed on our First Day Hikes page.

Dress for the weather, bring water, and kick off 2026 on the trail.
