The Nevada Division of State Parks is participating in the First Day Hike.

This free event at Spooner Lake on Jan. 1 from 10am-noon is sponsored by the National Association of State Park Directors. Park entrance fees are waived for participants in the snowshoe.

Children are welcome, but dogs are not permitted. Dress warm, bring a snack and water. This will be most likely a snowshoe hike, given the time of year, but may be a hike if there is no snow.

Spooner Lake one-half mile north on Highway 28 from the intersection of highways 28 and 50.
