Family Hike at Deception Pass State Park

Each family member attending must have a ticket, including all children. (ie. 2 adults, 2 children ages 0-5 = 4 tickets) Child(ren) who are non-walkers do not need a ticket of their own. Please note trails are not stroller accessable.

First Day Hikes are an annual event on January, 1st at Deception Pass and many other parks nationwide. They continue to be an initiative to get folks to start the new year exploring outside. New Year’s Day also marks the first state-managed land free day of 2025. Visitors will not need a Discover Pass to park on state recreation lands.

Join our amazing Fidalgo Nature School staff for a family hike for child(ren) ages 0-5 and their adults. If the event sells out, we will also have an easy hike that your family is more than welcome to join us for! The family hike will last about an hour and a half.

First Day Hikes will take place at the Cornet Bay Retreat Center, rain or shine. Please bring the clothing, snacks, and water necessary for you and your child(ren) to remain comfortable for the duration of the hike. Event is subject to cancellation due to inclement weather such as snow or unsafe wind conditons.
