First Day Hikes

A Natural Resolution – 10 a.m. to noon: 

Get outside at Myrtle Beach State Park on the first day of this new year and resolve to spend more time enjoying the natural world. Feel, see, hear and smell your way through a diversity of coastal habitats as we enjoy a leisurely 1.5-mile stroll and appreciate the serenity that nature provides.  Let’s unplug and unwind from our fast-paced world for a few hours and be inspired by nature and its zen-like ways. This program is designed for adults. No pets.

Advice from a Park Dweller – 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.:

Grab your kids, head outside and take a short hike to absorb some fun life-lessons from nature! Inspired by the “Advice from Nature” series, have a blast learning about plants and animals that live in the park. In our quest to gain some wisdom from nature, we will imitate our animal and plant neighbors through motions, sounds and activities. This program is designed for families with kids. Animals don’t need cell phones, so be like an animal and turn yours off! Please leave your pets at home.
