America's State Parks First Day Hikes initiative will take place in all 50 states, including Walkway Over the Hudson.

First Day Hikes originated more than 20 years ago in Massachusetts, to promote both healthy lifestyles throughout the year and year round recreation at state parks. First Day Hikes offer a great way to get outside, exercise, enjoy nature and welcome the New Year with friends and family. Thisi s the first time all 50 state park systems have joined together to sponsor First Day Hikes.

To support this national effort to begin the New Year with a healthy hike, Walkway Over the Hudson invites yo to come Walk It Off on the Walkwy. Join Walkway volunteers and Parks staff at 12 Noon at either the East or West gate to walk across the bridge together. Bring your family, two-legged and four-legged friends and remember to dress warmly!
