A new trail opened in Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park (Kentucky) to engage families and kids.
In a statement from the National Park Service and Kids in Parks program, the track trail offers a series of self-guided brochures to make hiking fun.
Additionally, the activity guides would encourage children to search for hidden items in the natural surrounding, while the brochures would provide educational information, connecting families to the environment.
Park Superintendent Catherine Bragaw said the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park partnered with the Kids in Parks program to offer the first Track Trail in Kentucky.
“This program provides fun learning as families explore the trails on the old Sinking Spring Farm,” Bragaw said. “We hope that the program’s activities and incentives will encourage families and youth to spend more time in the outdoors.”
The Kids in Parks program has 229 other Track Trails in the country intending to introduce children to natural wonders in public lands.
