Kansas Parks Part of First Day Hikes Program
Associated Press - Mon 10:35 AM 12/31/2012
Kansas parks officials are hoping people will want to start the new year with a hike in state parks.
Five state parks are participating in a national "First Day Hikes" program. The program offers guided hikes through the parks. The hikes are generally one or two miles long. First Day Hikes are scheduled in all 50 states.
The Wichita Eagle reports the hikes will be offered on New Year's Day in Cross Timbers, Eisenhower, Elk City, Kaw River and Tuttle Creek state parks.
The hikes are free, but visitors must have a park permit for all parks except Kaw River. A daily permit is $5 starting Tuesday.
Comments must stay on topic and be respectful. Comments that are personal attacks, make unfounded accusations, or are for the purpose of "trolling" or inciting others will be removed. Offending users will have their profile suspended.

Then let squatters park for free and do nothing to get rid of them. The head of of Kansas Parks needs to be doing something other than wanting to raise fees. Why would I even want to go to these parks when they have squatters and criminals living there year round?
