SUMMARY:DCR First Day Hike at South Cape Beach State Reservation
DESCRIPTION:Massachusetts is where the American Revolution began\, and it is also where the First Day Hikes started. On New Years Day in 1992\, 380 people gathered at Blue Hills Reservation to welcome the new year with a walk in the woods. That simple idea grew into something big. Today\, all 50 states offer First Day Hikes on January 1. As we prepare to honor the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution in 2026\, DCR is proud to celebrate this Massachusetts tradition that continues to inspire the nation. \nSouth Cape Beach State Reservation\nJanuary 1\, 2026\, 10:00am – 11:30am\nMeeting Location: 668 Great Oak Road\, Mashpee\nGPS: 41.553435115595484\, -70.50552383152427 \nCelebrate the New Year at South Cape Beach State Reservation on a First Day Hike! Hike along the beach with views of Martha’s Vineyard. DCR staff will point out any interesting discoveries along the route such as horseshoe crabs\, welks and many treasures along the shoreline.
