Winter Solstice Family Hike

  • Gales Pond County Park East Filmore Road Hart, MI, 49420 United States (map)

Oceana Conservation District and the Oceana County Parks Commission invite you to bundle up and get out into the woods on a winter night in Oceana County. We will forgo the glare of flashlight or cell phone and let our night vision adjust to the darkening woods. Participants are encouraged to be the light! Please bring a flameless candle or lantern to help create a ribbon of light through the woods. For this first hike of our winter series we invite you to embrace the solstice, the shortest day of the year, and celebrate the wonderland that is Michigan in winter! All registrants are encouraged to check email for event updates.

please note that interest in this program is very high. we added more family hikes in january and february to meet the interest. if you haven’t yet signed up for this event, you may consider registering for January or february candlelight hikes instead.
