Join us to celebrate the new year by exploring the Old Oak Trail at Ponca State Park! We will meet at the West Shelter for an easy/moderate 1.25-mile hike at both 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. — your choice! Hot cocoa, cookies and a warm fire will be available after the hikes.

You may want to bring a water bottle, snack, camera, Bird ID book, and binoculars. Make sure you are layered up for the weather. Dogs are allowed on a six-foot leash.

A valid 2026 park permit is required.
