Start off your new year in Nebraska’s great outdoors with a First Day Hike at Schramm Park SRA!Meet at the Schramm Education Center at 10:30 a.m. on New Year’s Day. Choose which hike works best for you: a short hike along our Catalpa Trail with flatter terrain, or a longer hike at Schramm Park SRA through the forested hills. Following the hike, we will have a winter art activity for kids and a campfire for roasting marshmallows.
In 2026, Nebraska Game and Parks will join the nation in celebrating 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This milestone is a unique opportunity to connect Nebraskans with the state’s rich natural, cultural, and outdoor heritage. To commemorate the occasion, park staff will be handing out free 250th Anniversary First Day Hike stickers, while supplies last!
Participants should dress for the weather and remember to bring snacks and water, and binoculars, if desired. Friendly pets are allowed on a six-foot leash. A valid 2026 Nebraska state park vehicle permit is required for entry and can be purchased at the park.
Note that programs may be altered due to weather and trail conditions. Check the Schramm Education Center Facebook page for cancellations/modified schedules if severe weather advisories are in the area.
