Worcester To Get New Biking Trail

SNOW HILL -- Biking enthusiasts have another reason to appreciate Worcester County with officials approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Eastern Shore International Mountain Bicycling Association (ESIMBA) for the installation of a mountain biking trail at Newtown Park near Snow Hill.

“The agreement would govern the creation and maintenance of a mountain bike trail at our Newtown Park facility,” wrote Recreation and Parks Director Paige Hurley in a memo to the commission. “The trail would accommodate beginning to intermediate skilled riders and would be routed through an existing forested area that measured approximately one mile in length.”

Mountain biking is becoming increasingly popular, Hurley continued, and fits well with Worcester’s recreation strategy of offering inexpensive and healthy outdoor activities.
