Hike along the flat, wide Sugar River Recreational Trail as it winds through the woods from Newport towards Claremont. If the weather is appropriate, bring a chair and lunch for the trailhead, or eat at Village Pizza on Main Street in Newport. Leaders: Sharon & Jim Coer (203-671-5180). Please arrive 15 minutes before departure. Directions: A couple of blocks north of the gazebo in Newport, turn left onto Belknap Avenue. Drive past Hodgepodge Yarns and turn right into a dirt parking lot with large propane or oil tanks. The trailhead is at the end of the lot. Do not block access to the fuel tanks.
