NORWICH OUTING CLUB TRAIL WILL CONNECT WITH D. O. C

The Norwich Outing Club has begun to blaze the new Alden Partridge Trail, which is to run south over the Northfield and Braintree mountains and connect with the trail of the Dartmouth Outing Club. The trail will run to the foot of Scragg mountain, which is eight miles west of Northfield, where a cabin for the accommodation of hikers is being erected.

The trail will pass through a very wild section of the country, and will not cross a single road or highway in the entire distance. It will also run from Scragg mountain to Roxbury Gap over the Burnt mountain, and from there to Braintree Gap. In crossing Scragg mountain the trail will rise to an elevation of 3,000 feet.

This trail will open up a much wider field for the members of the Dartmouth Outing Club, since it will not be very far from the end of the Dartmouth Outing Club trail. Shelters will be built all along the Partridge Trail for use of hikers.
