The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) proudly announces
the Commonwealth's participation in this year's First Day Hikes.
Ringing in the New Year with a brisk walk through a state park is a
tradition that started more than 20 years ago right here in
Massachusetts at DCR's Blue Hills Reservation.
Scheduled hikes across the United States on Tuesday, January 1, 2013
will celebrate the second year of a National First Day Hikes movement,
as part of a ''get outdoors'' initiative for people of all ages.
For 2013, DCR will sponsor free, guided hikes in eleven state parks
across Massachusetts on New Year's Day. You can find detailed
information about each hike, including distance, incline, and suggested
footwear on DCR's website; look for the First Day Hike logo at
www.mass.gov/dcr. First Day Hikes offer individuals and families an
opportunity to begin the New Year with a rejuvenating outdoor experience
by reconnecting with nature and fitting in a few hours of exercise.
Meet in the Houghton's Pond Parking Lot at
840 Hillside St. and follow First Day signs. Arrive early to allow
sufficient time for parking and enjoy a free cup of soup beginning at
noon. ,
Blue Hills State Reservation, 695 Hillside St., Milton, MA. (617) 698-1802.
