- **Event Name**: First Day Hike - Stockton State Park
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 01 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 am
- **Event Description**: Join park staff on the first day of the year for an invigorating hike on the North Loop of Sortor's Bluff Trail. We will meet at the trailhead at 9 am.

Located in the southwest portion of the park, Sortor's Bluff Trail runs through one of the property's most remote sections. It offers great views of the lake and plenty of opportunities to experience local wildlife, including bald eagles. The northern section of the trail consists of a 3.3-mile loop with a 0.4-mile spur leading to a scenic overlook of the lake. The trail features natural surfaces and is considered moderately difficult. Hikers may encounter loose rocks, slippery surfaces, drop-offs, and roots or downed vegetation. Participants should wear sturdy hiking shoes, dress for the weather, and bring water and snacks.

This event is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome, but the trail is not accessible for strollers or wheelchairs. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash.
