Bennett Spring First Day Hike - Bennett Spring First Day Hike

Looking to get outside after the holiday season? Join Bennett Spring staff for a First Day Hike on Savanna Ridge Trail. We'll meet at the trailhead before embarking on this moderate 2.5-mile hike. During the hike, we'll see a chert woodland habitat that is unique to our area, and we'll discuss the importance of prescribed fire as we pass through the park's burn unit. Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes and dress for the weather. Bringing water bottles, snacks and hiking sticks is also encouraged. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash. This program is free, open to the public and suitable for all ages. Contact the park naturalist with any questions (417-532-3925). Cancellations will be posted on the official Bennett Spring State Park Facebook page.
