Step into Summer Hiking Program

Kick off the summer with the "Step Into Summer Hiking Series". Once registered participants will receive their tracking sheet as well as a list of suggested trails and the hiking can begin! Trails are located throughout Sandusky County. Participants need to hike 8 trails. When complete, participants can turn in their completed tracking sheet to receive a shield that can be place on a hiking stick. If you don't have a hiking stick we will have some available for sale ($5) at the time of shield pick-up. This program is being done in cooperation with Sandusky County Public Health.
