The Western Foothills Land Trust Jan. 22 celebrated the opening of two new recreational trails that connect downtown to the extensive trail system at Roberts Farm Preserve. The new non-motorized trails, each approximately two miles long, run roughly parallel to each other and to Lake Pennesseewassee, terminating at a trailhead across from the public parking on Water Street. Both Lunch and Janet’s trails provide serene outdoor experiences through the mature forested hillside with stream crossings and occasional views of the lake or of the village of Norway and Streaked and Singepole mountains.
