OutWiGo ‘Trails of Newport’ Hiking Challenge: Week 5
July 9 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am
The Hike this Week
Sand Cove/Duck Bay Trail
2.3 miles
Meet at Lot 3 at 9:00am
As part of the Wisconsin DNR OutWiGo initiative to get outside and participate in healthy activities, Newport SP Naturalist Beth Bartoli is leading a 13-week progressive hiking challenge covering every trail in the park.
Hikes will take place on Tuesday at 9:00am. We begin on June 11 with one of the shortest trails and end with the longest trail loop (7-ish miles) on September 3. Please join us when you can. On the final hike (Sept 3), miles will be tallied and participants will enjoy a pot-luck picnic.
These are not interpretive hikes; the purpose is to get out and enjoy some physical activity. Everyone is encouraged to hike at a pace that is comfortable for them. Hikes will be held as scheduled, except for extreme weather conditions. (We hike in the rain!)
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.
