How it Works
Participants may hike on their own, with a group, or through one of our guided park staff hikes. Some sites have entrance and parking fees. Hikers requiring accessible trails may repeat any trail twice for credit, as long as the hikes occur on different dates.

Guided Hikes and Programs
Guided hikes and programs will be added throughout the Hiking Spree season. Joining a guided hike is a great way to learn more about a park or preserve and discover a new your own path.
