Discover Norwich Trails

Here in the Upper Valley we enjoy the outdoors. There are many walkers among us, who ply loops around the downtown area and along the dirt roads in our hills. There are young families who enjoy recreation at Huntley Meadows. There are those who enjoy hiking, mountain biking and winter travel on Norwich’s extensive trail network. All these activities maintain fitness and a good outlook on life.

Discover Norwich Trails in 2020 was a program of guided Discovery Hikes to introduce the people of the Upper Valley, and especially Norwich, to our trails network.
