About City Trails
Newcastle’s trail system provides a variety of options for walkers, hikers, runners, and outdoor enthusiasts of all skill levels. Trails wind through forests, hills, and neighborhoods, offering both short loops for quick walks and longer routes that connect different parts of the city and nearby regional trails. With a mix of gentle paths, moderate slopes, and more challenging terrain, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Trail Etiquette
When using Newcastle’s trails, it’s important to be respectful and help keep the trails safe and enjoyable for everyone. Stay on designated paths, keep dogs on a leash, and always clean up after pets. Yield to other trail users: bikers should yield to hikers and everyone should give the right of way to horses. Keep noise low, control your speed on shared-use trails, and avoid disturbing wildlife or plants. Following these simple practices ensures that everyone can enjoy the trails responsibly.
