First Day Hike 2026: Lover's Leap

Kick off the new year alongside hikers in all 50 states with a First Day Hike at Queen Wilhelmina State Park. Join a park interpreter for a relaxed 1.5-mile stroll along the Lover’s Leap Trail. In honor of America’s 250th year, we’ll explore 250 years of Rich Mountain history and look ahead to the next 250. Please wear sturdy hiking shoes, bring plenty of water, and dress for the weather. #FirstDayHikes
