Many resolutions to get in shape start for the new year, but many see them through. Five Kansas State Parks are offering free First Day Hikes to get the new year started off with some fresh air and exercise.

Each guided hike will offer an opportunity to begin the new year with some rejuvenating activity, while connecting with the outdoors.

The hikes are scheduled at the following locations:

  • Kaw River Sate Park, Topeka
  • Tuttle Creek State Park, Tuttle Creek Reservoir, Manhattan
  • Eisenhower State Park, Melvern Reservoir, 30 miles south of Topeka, 3 miles west of US-75
  • Cross Timbers Sate Park, Toronto Reservoir, 12 miles west of Yates Center, south of US-54
  • Elk City State Park, Elk City Reservoir, 5 miles northwest of Independence

The hikes are free of charge but parking permits will be required. Information about each hike can be found at KSOUTDOORS.COM.
