Column: Exploring Witt Swamp in Norway

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • August 4, 2024

With wildlife and flowers teeming, a paddle down Pennesseewassee Lake in Norway to Witt Swamp is so worth the trip. Carpets of fragrant water lilies are everywhere. Barn swallows fill the air, dashing here and there for insects. To the northeast, we can see the foothills that are the steppingstones to the great Alpine notches to the north: Evans, Grafton, Pinkham. There are also some nice hiking options. Downtown Norway’s Main Street is on the National Register of Historic Places and is well worth a stroll. ~ Michael Perry
