About the event

First Day Hike
Ring in 2026 with a guided hike! Join park staff for a leisurely hike on the Red Bud Trail. The hike will be approximately 2 miles long on rugged terrain. We will meet at the Redbud Trailhead by the lake at 10 a.m.

Directions to the hike are as follows. Enter the park on Highway 157. Turn Right on Big Loop Road (one way loop). Follow the road until you get to a tight turn where you can see the lake on the right. Take an immediate right into the parking lot. We will begin at the trailhead off that parking lot.

Make sure to wear weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable hiking shoes. Bringing a water bottle is recommended.

Questions? Contact the park office at 660-665-6995.

First Day Hikes are promoted by America’s State Parks, and you will be joining hikers from all 50 states that are beginning the New Year connecting to the outdoors by taking a healthy hike.
