First Day Hikes at Dolliver and Brushy Creek

The Iowa DNR will be having the annual First Day Hikes on Friday at 11 a.m. at Dolliver Memorial State Park and 1 p.m. at Brushy Creek State Recreation Area.

Kick off 2016 with a winter hike. First Day hikers can expect to be surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature in winter, with views unimpeded by foliage. Wildlife and animal tracks might be spied during the hike. The hike should take about 45 minutes. Children over the age of 4 are welcome unless carried by an adult, no strollers. Dress warmly, wear layers of clothing and sturdy, warm hiking boots or shoes, as well as hats and gloves. Binoculars and a camera always come in handy, and remember to bring water and maybe a snack.

Hikers going to Dolliver Memorial State Park should meet at Copperas Bed trailhead by the South Lodge. Those going to Brushy Creek meet at the Prairie Resource Building.
