First Day Hike 2026

Start off the New Year by getting back out in nature and exploring our new trail system at Hanson Riverside Park near West Columbia. The park interpreter will lead the hike pointing out the natural and cultural high points on the trail as we travel past the new pavilion and wetland observation area. After the hike, we will sit and reflect as we compose a Haiku to commemorate the past year and our finished hike. For more information or to register contact the park interpreter at Nathanm@brazoriacountytx.gov or 979-864-1152. First Day Walk is a free event for everyone! Leashed Pets are welcomed! Please remember to contact Nathan to register! We will meet at the boat ramp: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wBqmXtj8q1knYFFm7
