The first step of 2026 should start on an Arkansas State Park trail. First Day Hikes are rolling across Arkansas State Parks, inviting you to lace up, step outside and welcome the new year with fresh air. Whether it is a quiet loop or a heart-pumping climb, every mile counts toward a strong start. Heading out this weekend, make sure to log your hike, track your hours, and claim your 2026 First Day Hikes sticker. While you are at it, share your trail moments and submit photos from your hike.
