Kick start the new year with a hike at James River State Park! First Day Hikes are part of a national initiative that encourages people to refresh and reset by getting outside on the first day of the year. We will be offering two guided hikes for you to pick from: for those passionate about history, a History Hike, and for the nature lovers, a Wetlands Hike.

On the History Hike, you will discover the rich history of James River State Park - from ancient fossils to the American Civil War. We'll stop at one of the park’s cemeteries along the way and finish at the Tye River Overlook. This is a moderate, approximately 1.8 mile round-trip hike.

On the Wetlands Hike, explore the park’s expansive wetlands with us as we search for and identify the plants and animals that call this unique habitat home. Bring a camera or binoculars for an up-close view of this diverse ecosystem. This is an easy, approximately 1.25 mile round-trip hike.

Enjoy a soup luncheon after your adventure, sponsored by the Friends of James River State Park!
