Celebrate the 15th year of First Day Hikes with a guided walk at Rogers Environmental Education Center, led by the Friends of Rogers and the Bullthistle Hiking Club. Choose between a gentle 1.4-mile loop beside Channels Marsh and the Chenango River, or a more challenging 1.1-mile route to the Farm Tower for scenic views of the valley in winter. Registration is not required.

Hike 1: Easy - 1.4-mile loop of flat terrain bordering Channels marsh and the edge of the Chenango River. Some tree roots and one mild incline.

Hike 2: Moderate - 1.1-mile loop, including a moderately steep uphill to the Farm Tower with views of the surrounding valley.

There are Leopold benches where hikers can sit and rest along both trails.

We will meet in the main parking lot at the Rogers Center, adjacent to State Route 80. Please wear layers and dress for the weather. All ages welcome. No pets are allowed on this hike.
