First Day Hike
1/1/2026 | Lake of the Ozarks State Park | Brumley, MO
Join us for a 2.5-mile guided hike on Hidden Springs Trail. Hidden Springs Trail goes through native Missouri woodlands to bluff tops above the Lake of the Ozarks. Hikers may see a variety of birds including the white-breasted nuthatch or pileated woodpecker. In addition to the abundant natural history in this area, the trail also passes near a small family cemetery. The trail consists of natural surfaces and is considered moderately difficult. It should take us about 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the hike.
This event is free, open to the public, and suitable for all ages. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash of 10 feet or less. Participants are encouraged to bring water and snacks and dress for the weather.
