First Day Hike set New Years Day at Dayton Bluffs in Ottawa

Visitors can take 2 different hikes, drink hot chocolate

The Ottawa City Council authorized a grant application for a project at the 253-acre Dayton Bluffs Preserve that would be put towards putting in accessible parking to replace a gravel lot and provide paths instead of woodchip and grass-covered trails.

Volunteers will host their sixth annual First Day Hike on Monday for New Years Day at the Dayton Bluffs Preserve in Ottawa.

The event begins at 8 a.m. at 2997 N. Route 71, just northeast of Hank’s.

Visitors may join one of two different guided Dayton Bluffs hikes. Visitors may warm themselves in front of a bonfire. The first 60 visitors will enjoy a cup of hot chocolate. Set off the New Year right with some exercise in nature.
