January 1 (Thursday) First Morning Walk - Pocahontas State Park  - Chesterfield (D/4) 

Jeff Samuels (796-7949 or jefflsamuels@yahoo.com)  This is the first of two New Years’ Day hikes at this park. Start the morning off with this moderately paced 4 mile hike in the park's central section on wide multi-use trails, with just a wee bit of easy off trail. Points of interest include those from the Civilian Conservation Corps era, remnants of an old home site, and several family cemeteries. Bring water. If staying for the Park-sponsored "First Day Hike" in the afternoon, which begins at 1:00 PM and starts from the same parking area as this hike, bring lunch to eat between hikes. Restrooms at parking location only. Park entrance: Beach Road (Rt. 655) 4 miles west of Rt. 10 (Ironbridge Rd.). $5 parking fee without park pass. No need to contact Jeff unless you have questions. Meet in the big parking lot near the pool/picnic area at 9:50AM.
