Description

This trail is in a section of the park that allows dogs to be off leash.

The Newfound trail is a short but interesting trail. From the Long Lake Trail it starts by passing the Roswell Outpost Shelter. It then travels through a beautiful hardwood stand and soon passes by some low, wet areas that are a thick mat of moss. The trail then travels through a mossy black spruce stand before reaching the Moose Trax Trail.
