There are approximately 26 miles of wilderness, silent-sport (hiking, biking, skiing) trails at Newport. This is a significant area of public use in the park that needs to be monitored through all seasons.
NWS now has a team of trail stewards who volunteer their time to keep an eye on and communicate issues that might arise along their assigned trail (downed trees, invasive species, signage/infrastructure concerns, for example).
