Hyde Park Trails Walkabout Kick-off Hike

Get ready to explore the great outdoors with our Hyde Park Trails Walkabout Kick-off Hike!

Hikers should plan to rally at the picnic pavilion, next to the Wallace Center, at the Home of Franklin D Roosevelt National Historic Site by 9am.

We will be walking the Roosevelt Woods Trail, a loop of approximately 2.1 miles, passing the FDR home garden, orchard, ice pond, historic forest plantations and stoneworks in a unique riverside woodland. The path is a maintained woods trail. Hikers should expect to navigate a moderate elevation change of about 100 feet and some moderately steep slopes.

The Wallace Center restrooms will be available starting at 8:30. The ticket desk opens at 9 am for those wishing to arrange for home or museum tours. More information is available here: https://www.nps.gov/thingstodo/start-at-the-henry-a-wallace-visitor-center.htm. Grounds, trails, gardens, and the Presidential Grave Site are available for access every day, free of charge.It’s a perfect way to connect with nature, meet fellow trail lovers, and kick off the walking season with good vibes and fresh air. Lace up your comfy shoes and come ready for an adventure!
