Newman Springs Trail
Offering seven miles of hunter walking trail, this trail offers a variety of vegetation types and water with two spring ponds and two creek crossings. There is also a variety of topography with more hills along this trail as compared to others in the area. Because of the wetlands, only a portion of the trails are open for year round use. Hiking is pretty easy in that much of the hikeable trail follows old logging roads.
Newman Springs Trailhead (parking fee): From the intersection of State Highways 13 and 182 in Park Falls, drive east 12.5 miles on Highway 182 to the trailhead which is on the right (south) side of the highway.
A National Forest parking fee is required. The daily fee can be paid at the trailhead. An annual sticker can be purchased at the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest at the office at 1170 S. 4th Avenue / Highway 13 in Park Falls.
