First Hike of 2026 - Ferrone Woods

Event date and time
January 4, 2026 - 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Join Nature Up North Project Manager Dan for our first hike of the year: a snowshoe near Black Lake! 

We'll be exploring Ferrone Woods, a new preserve added to the Indian River Lakes Conservancy in 2023. This expanding trail network currently hosts about a 1-mile loop through mixed forests, highlighted by unique open spaces and a view overlooking Black Lake. 

Join us at 10:00am on Sunday, January 4th. Sign up using this link, where you can also indicate your need for snowshoes. Limited pairs available! For GPS directions, please use this google maps pin.
