Choose from a host of winter hikes on the SRK Greenway. 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!
Be sure to contact the listed trip leader at least one day in advance to register your interest and get the details on meeting place and time. Always carry a substantial supply of water, a snack, and layers of clothing to prepare for possible weather conditions. Winter hikes can mean anything from snowshoes to microspikes or skis — make sure that you are prepared with the appropriate gear and clothing.
