Kick off 2026 with a hike at Oakwood Lakes State Park! Our annual First Day Hike will be a guided hike led by SD Volunteer Naturalists Emily and Andrea. Meet them at the warming shelter near Mortimer's Cabin at 2pm. A park entrance license is required. If the temperature with windchill is 0 or below, the hike will be canceled.
