Seasoned hikers, as well as those who are just enjoying the outdoors can participate in the Jingle Bell Hike challenge at Knob Noster State Park. On each of the park’s seven trails, team members have placed a set of jingle bells. Seven sets of bells can be found either on the main loops or white connector trails. The trails are open from sunrise to sunset daily but may be closed due to wet weather.

Hikers can hike the seven trail, find and ring the bells, take a photo and then share it on social media using the hashtag #JingleBellHikes. The challenge starts November 21 and continues through January 6, 2023.

Knob Noster State Park is located near Knob Noster and Whiteman Air Force Base, two miles south of Highway 50 along Highway 23 in Johnson County.
