The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is urging people to get outside and enjoy nature on the first day of 2020.

The ODNR Division of State Parks and Watercraft is coordinating First Day hikes around Ohio.

The hikes will be taking place at six parks: Caesar Creek, south of Dayton; Hueston Woods, north of Oxford in southwest Ohio; Maumee Bay, near Toledo; Portage Lakes, south of Akron; Wingfoot Lake State Park, east of Akron; and Shawnee State Park, near Portsmouth in southern Ohio.

Naturalists will lead winter hikes 1-3 miles in length for beginners and experienced hikers.
