Mark your calendars for Friday, September 19, 2025, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. — Lexington is hosting a Take a Hike – Scavenger Hunt at Hisle Farm Park (3551 Briar Hill Road, Lexington, KY 40516). It’s a free event, perfect for families who want to stretch their legs, discover nature, and maybe learn a little map magic.
Participants will walk up to one mile along trails at the park. Along the way, you’ll use maps and compasses (provided by the event hosts) to find your way, explore, and solve scavenger hunt clues. Even if you’ve never used a compass before, that’s okay — the goal is to try, learn, and have fun together.
This is more than just a hike: it’s a chance to spend time together outdoors, notice the trees, breeze, and maybe some wildlife. It’s good for our bodies (walking is great exercise!) and good for our minds: figuring out clues teaches problem-solving. It’s also an opportunity for kids and adults to connect, talk, laugh, and enjoy fresh air in a green space close to home.
If your family is looking for a low-cost, high-fun way to start the weekend, this event is just right. Pack some comfy shoes, bring water, maybe a snack, and get ready to explore. Nature is waiting — see you on the trails!
