If you are among the millions of Americans who will resolve themselves to losing some weight or just being more active with the coming of the New Year, then the state’s Department of Conservation and Recreation has a plan to get you started on day one.

As they have every year for three decades now, DCR will host several New Year’s Day hikes at state properties across the Commonwealth. The hikes are generally guided, free to join, and many come with hot cocoa at the end.

“First Day Hikes brings people of all ages, backgrounds, and demographics together with a common goal of starting their year off at our state parks,” Gov. Maura Healey said in her announcement of the event’s 33rd year.

“We are proud to continue this cherished tradition that encourages communities to come together, take in fresh air, and experience the beauty of our state,” she said.

First started at Blue Hills Reservation by a group of about 400 hikers in 1992, the annual New Year’s Day outdoors program has expanded into a national effort. According to the governor’s office, there are now similar offerings in all 50 states.
