Sunrise Hike

Join Marshall County Conservation for a program that will encourage you to begin your morning off with a hike through a county area. Research has shown that people who exercise in the morning are more active througout the day. Come for a brisk hike, bring your bincoluars to look for birds, or just to get some fresh air while strolling leisurely. MCCB staff will be present to answer any questions you might have. Participants will want to dress appropriately and wear sturdy footwear.

Fee: Free
