Need to Know

The northern end is easy to locate with a very small parking area off the residential Hampton Drive. The southern end is hidden behind the baseball diamond at Amity High School, use GPS in the app if visiting for the first time.

Description

This white-blazed trail is the main line of Newton Road Park, located east of Newton Rd between the high school grounds and Hampton Drive. Unlike the nearby and very popular Newton Street Park, this confusingly-named neighbor is much less known/visited. It offers a quiet and pretty hike, fairly flat in terms of altitude, but somewhat challenging in places due to the wetland terrain.
