First Day Hike at Lake Murray State Park

Dust off your hiking boots and kick start the New Year with a lovely guided nature hike at Lake Murray State Park in Ardmore! This nationwide event encourages people from all over the country to gather together at select state parks for a New Year's Day Hike. There will be two hikes this year of moderate difficulty. Meet at Pecan Grove to hike the 4-mile Lake Shore Trail at 10:00 a.m. or gather at the Nature Center to hike one-mile Tucker Tower Loop at 3:00 p.m. Be sure to bring your binoculars, a camera, water and appropriate dress for a cool-weather hike.
