LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Anderson Marsh State Historic Park will offer a free community hike beginning at noon on New Year’s Day as part of America's State Parks First Day Hikes program.
First Day Hikes offer a great way to get outside, exercise, enjoy nature and welcome the New Year with friends and family.
The leisurely walk will loop through portions of the Cache Creek, Marsh and Ridge trails.
Hikers will experience grasslands, oak woodlands, willow and cottonwood riparian habitats and a large vernal pool near the end of the hike.
Hikers may encounter a variety of migrating and resident birds and other wildlife.
The hike should take between two and 2.5 hours. Participants are welcome to walk part way and make an early return at their own pace. Because this area is a natural preserve, no dogs may be brought on this walk.
Participants should bring water and snacks and binoculars if they have them, and a hat for protection against the weather. Sturdy shoes that can handle a little mud are recommended.
Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is located on Highway 53, between Lower Lake and Clearlake.

ANNAPOLIS, MD. – The BoatUS Foundation’s boating safety course is the only free online educational tool that helps boaters obtain their state’s boating safety education certification easily and affordably.
To help keep the course free, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit is asking for tax-deductible donations to help educate the next generation of recreational boaters.
“We offer free online state boating courses to help reduce a barrier to boating and greatly increase your chance for a safe day on the water,” said assistant director of Boating Safety Ted Sensenbrenner. “More than 1.2 million boaters have taken our courses, but we don’t want to rest on our laurels. To educate the next generation, we need to look ahead and seek out more investments in technology. We hope boaters will help us.”
