Newport Past and Present Tour: Hotz Trail

August 31 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am

This is a NWS Wilderness Days Event

Hotz Gate and caretaker cottage

WI Master Naturalist volunteers Mary O’Grady and Lynn Reuter will lead us along the Hotz Trail.

As early as the 1920’s, the trail was the original driveway going to the cabin of Ferdinand Hotz. Learn about the amazing family history and how the land he preserved became part of Newport State Park. 

Meet at the parking area at the end of Europe Bay Road. 

All programs are free, but a state park admission sticker is required on all vehicles.
Some programs are weather related, so check with the park if you have any questions.
