First Day Hike - Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary

Out with the old, in with the new! Start 2025 out with a refreshing, rejuvenating hike in the great outdoors. Join Mike Quinlan and Diane Goebes, Jug Bay volunteers & Maryland Master Naturalists, on an exploration of a natural winter wonderland. There will be two options to choose from. Go with Diane for a faster, longer 4+ mile hike to our Emory Waters Nature Preserve property or hike with Mike for a slower, 2-3 mile hike on our most popular yellow loop trail.

First Day Hikes are free, guided hikes offered each year on New Year’s Day. The hikes are intended to promote an alternate way of celebrating the New Year by going outside, getting some exercise, and enjoying local nature and history. Start your year off on the right foot by joining knowledgeable park rangers, naturalists, and volunteers in one of our County’s beautiful parks. 
 
Sturdy footwear, binoculars, cameras, and a water bottle are recommended. Please dress for the weather.
