Hike Mother Neff State Park
Sunday, 06 January 2013 by Keith Bahlmann
Join Park Ranger Marianne Van Houtte on New Year's Day, Tuesday, January 1, 2013 for a hike at Mother Neff State Park.
Fresh air and beautiful surrounding contribute to your emotional health and play a part in reducing stress on the body.
Beginning at 2 p.m., she will guide you on the trails and explain the benefits of walking to your health.
The trails are conducive for running or jogging, as well as hiking.
As a Boston Marathon finisher, Marianne can provide you with tips for a fun run.
Hiking with a bandana is one safety tip and Marianne will cover all of the ways it can be useful.
First 50 participants will receive a free bandana.
Nothing fancy is required; just a comfortable pair of shoes and a water bottle.
There is no charge for the guided hike; however, park entrance fees do apply.
Meet at the Breezeway at Mother Neff State Park and for more information call (254) 853-2389.
It is a new year and a time for new goals and habits. A time for paying attention to your health, reducing your stress, and enjoying the outdoors.
