First Day Hikes: On New Year’s Day, Sunday, January 1, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), in partnership with America’s State Parks, will be offering free guided First Day Hikes at state parks around the state.
OPRD is Providing First Day Hikes Across Oregon in Starting of 2023
A pleasant and educational hike to learn about the various types of mushrooms that can be found along the Oregon Coast is to take the South Jetty Trail through the South Beach foredunes for the duration of one hour. Bring a bag made of brown paper with you to collect your treasures. The hike will begin at 10 a.m. and will start at the new trailhead that is located near the South Jetty Day-use Area.

Paved sections are interspersed with sections of densely packed dirt along the trail. There are several spots that may be challenging to navigate with baby strollers. Leashes no longer than six feet in length are required for dogs. Participants are encouraged to dress in layers, wear shoes with good traction, bring water and snacks, and either a camera or binoculars to improve their chances of seeing animals.
You can get additional information by calling the number 541-867-7451. On that particular, the day-use parking fee of $5 will not be enforced at any of the state parks that require a parking permit and are available to the public. Use the hashtag #ORfirstdayhikes whenever you upload photographs to social media of your First Day Hikes experience.
Hiking the Nehalem Bay Loop Trail for two miles is a great way to kick off the New Year on the right foot. Take in the sights of the bay, the forest, and the ocean all around you.
