First Day Hike

Kick off the New Year with some exercise and exploration at the Falls of the Ohio State Park from 1:00 to 2:30 PM. Hike along the upper fossil beds and learn about Devonian sea life, plants, and animals along the river’s edge. Bring binoculars to look for winter birds. Building will open a few minutes before and after the hike for access to restrooms and water fountains, otherwise the Interpretive Center is closed on January 1. Inclement weather will cancel the program due to the hazardous nature of a slippery, uneven, rocky surface. A $2 pay-to-park fee applies, but the program is free.
