Candlelight Ski, Hike Or Snowshoe

Description

Newport State Park will hold its 35th annual candlelight ski/hike/snowshoe event. The tradition will carry on as the trails will come alive by candlelight, guiding skiers, hikers and snowshoers into a glowing, magical winter wonderland.

The terrain of the trails is relatively flat and suited for the novice skier as well as the more experienced. If you don’t want to ski, feel free to hike or snowshoe the trail. Participants may want to bring a headlamp to assist in putting equipment on or finding their vehicle after skiing or hiking.

Participants should start at the picnic area parking lot (Lot 3) anytime between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with directions. At the end of the lit trail, you will find a bonfire to warm up by, complete with hot cocoa and cookies.
