Watkins Woolen Mill State Park and State Historic Site will be the site of our guided First Day Hike on the Paved Bicycle Lake Trail on New Year’s Day. The hike will be 3.75 miles in length and should take about two hours to complete. Someone will remain at the posted coordinates for anyone who may show up late. There is no requirement to complete the hike. The paved trail is considered easy and encircles the 100-acre Williams Creek Lake with a moderate grade. In winter, geese, and occasionally bald eagles, can be seen on or above the lake.
Participants should meet at the east dam parking lot, located near the campground, and bring water and snacks.
This event is free and open to the public.
