Newport Recreation Building adjacent to trailhead. Digital picture by Kenyon F. Karl on June 11, 1998.
The trail begins on the east side the Newport Recreation Department building on Belknap Avenue. It runs northwest across the yard of a fuel dealer before it passes a yellow trail gate.
Former Newport Depot. Digital picture by Kenyon F. Karl on June 11, 1998.
The former railroad station is about a quarter-mile southeast of the trailhead. Unfortunately, the old railroad bed between these two points is blocked by a fence and private land ownership.
Parking is located adjacent to the beginning of the trail next to
the Newport Recreation Department building on Belknap Avenue. From the center of Newport,
head 1/4 mile north on Route 10 and turn left onto Belknap
Avenue. Parking is located 1/10 of a mile from this turn. Toilets and water are available within the
building whenever it is open (9am to 5pm
daily).
The Community
Transportation Services bus stops at Main St. and Belknap Avenue a 1/10 of a mile east of the trailhead. The Claremont-Newport
route offers both in-town service as well as 5 round-trips to
Claremont along Route 11 & 103 on weekdays only. Bicycles are not accommodated on this bus.
Restaurants of various kinds are located in and around the
business district that is just southeast of the former railroad
station. Toilets and water are presumably available at
restaurants upon request.
The Library is located on North Main Street between Belknap Avenue and the
downtown area. Toilets and water are presumably available at the library upon request.
