A First Day Hike is a fun and healthy way to kick off the New Year. The concept is simple: on January 1, visit a provincial park near you for a hike!
You can either take a self-guided hike with your friends and family, or visit a park hosting a guided hike. Either way, you’ll feel great after a day spent outside with your loved ones.
First Day Hikes promote a year-long embrace of health and happiness in the outdoors. Plus, hiking offers head-to-toe health benefits.
NOTE: Due to COVID-19, First Day Hikes will look a bit different from past years. There will not be organized events or activities in Ontario Parks on January 1. Participants are encouraged to plan self-directed hikes with members of their households or bubbles.
