First Day Hike at Ponca State Park

Join us to celebrate the new year by exploring the Old Oak Trail at Ponca State Park! We will meet at the West Shelter for an easy/moderate 1.25-mile hike at both 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. — your choice! Hot cocoa, cookies and a warm fire will be available after the hikes.

You may want to bring a water bottle, snack, camera, Bird ID book, and binoculars. Make sure you are layered up for the weather. Dogs are allowed on a six-foot leash.

A valid 2026 park permit is required.
