Take a Hike on the SRK Greenway this Fall
Choose from a great selection of hikes on the SRK Greenway this fall. All hikes are free and open to the public. Whether you are interested in exploring the greater Lake Sunapee Region, or you just want to get out on a trail with others – there is something for everyone!
To join the SRK Greenway hikes it is essential that you contact the leader at least a day in advance to get details concerning where and when to meet. As always bring a snack and plenty of water, dress in layers for varying weather conditions, and consider using poles to add stability and help your knees with the downhills. Perhaps now is the time to challenge yourself to complete the entire 75-mile circuit of 14 trails; you can complete some of them this fall.
