First Day Hike: Cacapon

Take your first step into the New Year with a hike at Cacapon Resort State Park

Naturalists Valerie Chaney and Allen Miller, and volunteers will be with you to embrace the new year on a brisk wintry walk, January 1, 2024. The annual hike starts at 10:00 a.m. and will meet at the nature center to organize.

Sturdy shoes/boots are required and please dress appropriately for weather conditions; it can be bitter cold but worth the effort. Please, carry water and a snack. Plan to arrive 10 minutes prior to start time.

There is no charge to go on the hike. Participants receive a First Day Hike patch at completion. Email the naturalist at valerie.l.chaney@wv.gov for greater details.

First Day Hikes are part of a nationwide initiative led by America’s State Parks to get people outdoors, with hikes scheduled in all 50 states. Kids and adults all across America will be participating in First Day Hikes, getting their hearts pumping and enjoying the beauty of a state park.
