Recreation
Norway is known as much for its recreational opportunities as it is for its historic downtown where you can link into an urban trail system under development by Healthy Oxford Hills.
A short hike under Ordway Grove’s ancient oaks and white pines offers breathtaking views of Lake Pennesseewassee and wildlife-rich Witt Swamp. At the west end of the lake, you’ll find a boat launch, fishing, picnicking, and, thanks to a generous grant from New Balance, a recently upgraded playground at Pennesseewassee Park. Got a boat? Head out onto the lake for some fine sailing, fishing, waterskiing or just plain cruising. West of town is the spectacular Norway Country Club and quiet, scenic roads for cyclists and distance runners. The Roberts Farm Preserve overlooks Lake Penneseewassee and will soon offer a trail system for year-round non-motorized recreation. Winter’s splendor offers up snowmobiling, ice-fishing, skating and cross-country skiing. Downtown sports fields and tennis courts are located conveniently on Cottage Street, just a short distance from Main Street. In the winter a skating rink is available at this site.
