Start off the new year with a hike in your favorite state park. Fort Macon State Park will be offering four ranger-led hikes this year, two at 9 a.m.

The shorter hike at 9 a.m. will offer a short nature and bird hike on the Yarrow's Loop Trail and the inlet beach, covering 0.75 mile.

The longer hike at 9 a.m. will also be a nature and bird hike, but on the 3.2-mile Elliot Coues Trail.
