National Trails Day Provides Opportunities to Visit Parks for Outdoor Recreation

Mark your calendars…the weekend of June 2^nd will be very busy in the Lake Area. And if Lake Race isn’t your thing, perhaps a relaxing hike in the State Park might do the trick. It’s National Trails Day put on jointly by the American Hiking Society and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. A wide variety of events is being offered at eight Missouri State Parks. Those events can be found on the DNR’s website. National Trails Day, on June 2^nd, is described as the country’s largest celebration of trails with events across the country to promote public awareness and the benefits of trails.
